But that's exactly what the shm+screen does.  The "screen" program works 
that way: it opens a pty and provide terminal emulation which is by the 
way not trivial at all to do right.  Why would you want to duplicate 
that?

You could as well run stock Linux+minicom+brltty on a small ARM board to 
achieve your goal no problem.  The biggest issue is really to find that 
small board in the first place.
