This one is remarkably easy, actually.  If you think of the RSC card as a
single-port terminal server on tcp/23, you get something like this in your
config file:

somehost:!somehost-rsc@conserver-host:23:&.log:10m

You need a DNS entry for 'somehost-rsc' mapping to the IP of the RSC card.
Everything else should be obvious.

Hope this helps.
