Come on, we're talking about *Linux* here, not Winbloze95 or NT.
No problema. Instead of
* - - /usr/bin/telnet -8 -E -a -l @ target-machine
You use
* - - /etc/mytelnetshim.sh @
And here's what /etc/mytelnetshim.sh looks like:
#!/bin/bash
case `/usr/bin/tty` in
/dev/ttyS0) exec /usr/bin/telnet -8 -E -a -l $1 target-machine-1;;
/dev/ttyS1) exec /usr/bin/telnet -8 -E -a -l $1 target-machine-2;;
/dev/ttyS2) exec /usr/bin/telnet -8 -E -a -l $1 target-machine-3;;
/dev/ttyS3) exec /usr/bin/telnet -8 -E -a -l $1 target-machine-4;;
/dev/ttyS4) exec /usr/bin/telnet -8 -E -a -l $1 target-machine-5;;
