Have you seen the UCI "ttyd" package? It lets each user specify
one of the following actions when a write to the terminal (via
write/talk/wall or a provided special subroutine) is requested.
+ Write to tty
+ Refuse, with optional reason
+ Send message by mail instead
+ Pipe message to a program
+ Connect writer to a specified internet port
Actions can be stacked and popped so that programs can change
the action and restore it later.

..to sell more numbers!!
