We do this in our shop for our block mode (VPLUS) apps also
(FORTRAN code!). It is one of several major reasons why
network connections are not the panacea for everything. WE NEED
nailed ports to do this. HOWEVER, this makes it difficult to
move a programmer to another office area because there are
many network connections in the bldg already, but NOT enough
serial connections.
 
It would be nice if some way we could do an FOPEN to a device
on the network....
