There's a package called REPLServer for Squeak which does the above. It has command line editing and history. It doesn't have a debugger yet. I use it to "reboot" Morphic to get back to a debugger after a bad crash. Nor does it have session management, but that could be added easily. I never thought of doing that. REPLServer just uses telnet and only listens to localhost. I figured that if anybody wants to do secure stuff, then they could SSH into the remote host and then use telnet from the command line to get to Squeak.
