Description-en: Serial port to network proxy
This daemon allows telnet and tcp sessions to be established with a
host's serial ports. Combined with a terminal emulator, this can be a
very simple means to configure network devices or other equipment with
a serial port. This is remarkably similar to the reverse telnet
feature of some Cisco routers.
