May I suggest sometng ugly, but not violating any
layers,
DDCMP over UDP.
For what it's worth, Ersatz-11 (my PDP-11 emulator) also supports DDCMP
over UDP, and I don't consider it ugly at all -- it's a very neat fit.
(E11 can also use TCP, or actual real async DDCMP over serial lines, and
there are the beginnings of support for DDCMP on sync lines too but
usable hardware for that is rare.)
