[ale] Wanted: trivial minicom-type function

[Mills.J at ems-t.com (Mills, John M.)]

ALErs -

Before I write it, can anyone suggest a simple (even trivial) way to
plug 'stdin'/'stdout' to a specified '/dev/tt*' so byte traffic simply
goes both ways? No smarts required.

Second prize is for a comm utility that doesn't pollute the traffic
stream with whatever comments it wants to make, i.e., uses 'stderr' to
whine.

TIA from a lazy programmer.
