I have written a program just for this purpose.  It is called netcall, and
can be used to dial up a remote host, parse the address, attach a network
protocol, and run a shell.  Tested on NetBSD 1.0, compiled on FreeBSD but
I am not sure if it works.  Source code and full documentation can be found
on ftp://ftp.fastlane.net/pub/NetBSD/netcall.tar.gz.  (That should be the
file name!)

I would appreciate any feedback.

Don't go no fancy signoff.
