Okay, you won't really get modem control lines. Baud rate changes
won't work, too, but were they *really* used in the wild? I doubt it.
And break handling? Right, important for a console. But for eg. simply
using a glass terminal or a modem for PPP or something like that, that
probably won't be much of a problem.

Other than that, one could think about the telnet interface to add
RFC2217[1] support to it as another alternative.
