similar story, many lifetimes ago in the mid 1990's (1994-1996).
I was supporting a small ISP in a (US side) border town with T1 Internet
connectivity. I was dialing in to provide remote support using an HP Vectra
running Solaris 2.5 (not 2.5.1 yet :( ) with a US Robotics 28.8 modem. No SSH.

I decided to try this.
I just set up a SLIP link between my main desktop head (a
SPARCstation-20) and a handy peecee, running at 9600/8/N/1 on each end.
I then sshed through the SLIP link to the peecee and started a t

If the serial link runs at a relatively high data rate (eg, 115200) or
LBX support is in use and the data rate is at least medium (eg, 19200),
probably.
If not...well, it depends on how patient you are, I suppose, but
