I third this idea. Using screen would be a good idea as well.
This reminds me a project I worked on last century were we had people
direct dialing our facility over modems to use a custom DB front end
presented using Citrix.
One of the big challenges was dropped calls. Persistence is your friend
under these circumstances. At least the end users don't lose work.
