Dear Arno, Tim here.

This is where cfvt52 is going, to do this vt100 emulation would be more or
less needed, It gains many other things as well. I would really like to see
this happen. By the way others are seeking this as well.

In the mean time ethernet-ip-udp has become available, I now am looking at
integrating the cfvt52 serial code to the ether-ip-udp code. This being the
start of a telnet client/server pair. Any help is greatly appreciated :)
The vt100 extensions to cfvt52 would be a great help. It could also lead to
a text mode cf as well. I had stumbled on a really elegant way to reduce the
complexities of the vt100 protocol using cf. It should be short and easy for
about 90% compatatbility. If you or others are interested I will mail more.

If ethernet is not an option, than this should be applicable to serial as
well. The needed adjustments would probably be minor.

With kind regards,
