Introduction

   retty (short for "remote tty") makes TCP connections available as
   pseudo ttys. It allows you to use access servers with direct access to
   the modems (such as Cisco NAS) as ordinary dial-out modems for faxing,
   sending sms or visiting BBS'.

   retty is available at http://www.net-track.ch/opensource/retty

Requirements

   retty has only been tested on GNU/Linux with 2.4+ kernels. Mail me if
   it also runs on other platforms!
