There are a couple of pieces available:
* Ian's VT* emulators and TelnetMachine (can be used to interpret
cursor motions, and maintain a character map)
* the SerialPort (which, alas, must be polled (anyone up for making a
blocking SerialPort implementation using the async file support?)
But you'd have to interpret what was being presented on the screen
somehow in order to make sense of it.
In a sense, you'd need a screen *de*composition program...
