You can even telnet to the tcp port it assigns and you have a interactive terminal session like minicom or kermit. I use this to record SMDR from my Panasonic phone system as well as the voice mail system. Needs to be on a trusted lan though, no security to speak of. ttywatch was written by one of the Red Hat developers, Michael Johnson.
