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 this is excellent, thank you!

I wanted to run ssh over Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (I have a JDY-31 dongle wired to the serial console of my device), and couldn’t figure out how to bodge it together. This looks like it should do the trick!

@RoganDawes @AMS @chaos Yup, should work. Though for something wireless, you may want to run SSH over PPP so that it doesn't die the first time a packet gets dropped.
