perhaps you can use conserver for that, even if it is designed to do the
opposite (ie. manage remote attacjed serial consoles)?
It's in ports, see
ports/comms/conserver
ports/comms/conserver-com

If not, you will have to look for a way to set up someting like the
following:
- automatic login on local machine (as an unprivileged user)
- automatic connection to remote host (perhaps via .profile or somesuch

Hmm, there is an 'autologin' entry in my /etc/gettytab, and gettytab(5)
explains about the 'al' capability. This allows you to to autologin as a
specified user, at least.

There is also the 'lo' capability, which controls the program to execute
once a name is obtained, usually '/usr/bin/login'. I don't know it it is
possible to change this into, say ssh and have the teminal automatically
connect to another machine.
