Ever wanted to use SSH to connect to an embedded Linux system over the serial port instead of suffering through some janky login program that supports very limited terminal features?

Well, I did, and the tooling didn't exist, so I made it.

It also supports ppp automatically.

@ryanc @AMS @chaos I'm probably missing something, but yeah working with serial TTY's feels more clumsy than it should. I tend to just use `screen`, but it is a weird program.

@pawv @ryanc @AMS @chaos also, GNU screen’s baudrate detection is indeed wonky.

If I know the baudrate, I tend to just run cu(1) in a normal screen tab. Has to get the size (80×24 usually) right, though…
