Tried it.

wall seems to only send messages to "forward" log in.

This is my first time to understand why they call it
"reverse" telnet.

I can manipulate /dev/pts/* to get other tty lines
to receive the message. But minicom doesn't have
/dev/pts/* . Only forward login lines have that.

My routers consoles are /dev/ttyUSB*

[johnpc@johnpc ~]$ mesg y < /dev/ttyUSB1
mesg: error: tty device is not owned by group `tty'
[johnpc@johnpc ~]$

A process is a process, a stdin descriptor is a
descriptor. I should be able to find my way.
