I'm not sure if tfkiss will do what you want, but possibly it will.  I 
suspect the compilation problems may relate to it being written for an 
earlier version of gcc.  You could probably do something with several 
xterms, one running call, another running listen, etc.  Screen may work 
if you don't want to use X.

That is how I access the packet computer in my shack from inside 
my house and should work fine.  

Good luck.
