Note that all instructions assume that the user you ssh as has read/write access to all the devices. To interact with a Linux virtual console you can run "conspy". So you can to something like ssh my_computer conspy to see the currently active virtual console or ssh my_computer conspy 23 to the 23rd virtual console /dev/tty23 on. Note that this only works if the virtual console is in text mode. To get access to the X server which is running on the console you need to run x11vnc on the machine. ssh my_computer DISPLAY=:0 x11vnc You then invoke a vncviewer on your local machine. vncviewer my_computer:0 For "raw" I/O piped back and forth from a modem you could use socat readline /dev/ttyUSB0,raw,echo=0,crlf,nonblock It may be possible to use socat for /dev/tty0 as well.
