I think this is within the reach of what I am trying to do now. I am writing a telnet driver in order to redirect my serial-based terminal emulator to FastPath. This driver handles read and write calls to communicate with a telnet session and recognizes several special cscodes to assign an IP address and open a telnet connection. The driver can handle only one telnet session at a time but ftp is implemented in it. Currently the terminal emulator is aware that he is talking with the telnet driver but I don't think it's so difficult to make it look same as the serial driver, and then only I have to do is to write a cdev to open a connection and replace the slot in the unit table with the telnet driver. Anyway the driver code is not yet stable enough and I am not sure when I can work on the scheme explained above...
