Telebit (the Netblazer line) does this in the 70xx range (ie: "line 10" is
7010, etc). These connections are raw mode; they do NOT respect telnet
negotiation, etc.
I was the guy who wrote the spec for that feature back in the early 90s. :-)
Xylogics also supports it in a slightly different fashion, as does CISCO.
CISCO supports both the raw and telnet-negotiation-capable forms.
