Cable Guy, Is this an academic pursuit or do you really just want to be able to log into a router via the serial interface? I may be misinterpreting your entire intent, but...
I was wondering what your plans for layer 2 were? I've configured Cisco router serial interfaces (WIC style) for async, plugged a PC into it, hit the carriage return, and got a prompt (requires a few additional parameters to be configed on the async interface). That works quite well. Other than async, things start to get difficult. I still haven't had time to pursue it, but was looking into a PCMCIA card that supports HDLC a while back (I was trying to build a WAN protocol analyzer on a laptop).
