What I am trying to do is control a headless linux box using my 8088
laptop (ELKS 0.1.0) over a serial cable.

http://www.sorgonet.com/8086/8088_linux_dumb_terminal/  describes how to
do this using dos  and kermit terminal emulator on the 8088.  I have
done this proving the linux setup is good but I would much prefer an
ELKS solution for the laptop side.

I have sucessfully telnetted into the linux box using a SLIP connection
(thanks Harry) but I would prefer not to run telnetd or similar services
on the linux box. 

I suspect this should be simple to do but rtfm and google have just left
me confused.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
