I was wondering if anyone had written an application which takes one
physical modem and makes it into a larger number of virtual modems for
unix->unix connections.  (for instance, so I could dial into my local
unix workstation at 9600 baud and run some program there, then run
some program locally which would create /dev/vmodem0, /dev/vmodem1 and
/dev/vmodem2, both of which would have a connection and could potentially
be used by more than one window and/or user)  

Yes, I know about 'screen'.  Also, due to routing difficulties SLIP is 
improbable for me at this time.
