How start an interactive remote program automatically ?

[luci at esat.kuleuven.ac.be]

Can you indicate an elegant way to have a program call an interactive
program on a remote computer :

- both programs must exchange some data first (this does not seem a
  problem);
- the program running on the remote machine calls an interactive
  routine. All interactivity should be routed to the terminal
  connected to the local computer (this is where we have problems).

In the ideal situation, the user on the local computer should not
be aware of the fact that the interactivity is coming from the remote
computer. It would also be nice if the interactive subroutine itself
does not have to take into account that it can be called 'remotely'.
