 I used a wide-area dialup network called excellenet back in the early
 '90s. It could make a serial console connection to the downstream
 clients. You could send the whole stream to LPT and keep a record of
 what you did.

 I hated edlin until I realized it would work on a connection like that
where you work one line at a time.
