    You might look into wrapping the desired command in something like
    the pty-redir or ptybuffer utilities. There are links to these
    at freshmeat.

    Alternately, you could use ax25d instead of a node program to start
    the programs, or wrap the program in something like the Socket Window
    tool and have it listen on a tcp/ip port.
