You could use a real terminal server to reverse telnet to real switches
and then the dynamips routers. As long as the real terminal server has
IP reachability to the host running dynamips you can just telnet from
the terminal server to the port numbers bound on your dynamips host.
Like Scott said I highly doubt that the opposite is true, to have the
dynamips terminal server reverse telnet to real switches, because as far
as I know there is no way to create a mapping in dynamips to a physical
TTY line on your host. Try asking on the dynamips technical blog or the
hacki forum to be sure though.
