I'd like to find a terminal-type interface that could sit on top of a network  
interface of my own design.  Does anyone know of such a thing laying about the  
net?  I've tried archie and manual searches of certain anon-ftp sites to no  
avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have gotten a couple responses, but it seems I didn't explain myself  
properly.  Perhaps I should clarify:  what I need is a NeXT app, similar to  
Terminal or Stuart, that allows terminal-like user I/O that I can hack to put  
atop a custom interface.

Like so:
