This is what I want to do. I would like the ability to "understand" what the
VAX
and VT terminal are saying to each other and periodically inject information
into
the data stream. The old fashioned way of doing this would be to feed the
terminal
connection through two serial ports and sniff. This is however not very
scalable
when dealing with a large number of terminals.

Fair point. In my case LAT is using DECNet.
