And no. port_helper passes the actual file descriptor back to UML through
the unix socket on fd 3. Then, UML receives characters directly from telnetd
without port_helper having to relay them.
Otherwise, this is pretty good.

I never heard of termnetd. I think it's less likely to be installed on
a given system than telnetd though :-) If UML were to use it, it would
have to write out a config file and tell termnetd to use it. That's not
horrible, but it is less convenient than being able to put everything on
the command line.
