I'm not sure, as I don't know what other software packages are doing
with network console. One of the ways I can imagine is to add a
`telnetd' service into GRUB so that you could connect to a GRUB
machine from a remote host. Probably this requires a lot of work,
because you need to implement a TCP/IP framework.
Another way is to create a special protocol for the purpose and
implement a client program for the protocol. This shouldn't be very
difficult (as, for example, you can modify the TFTP protocol a bit),
but this wouldn't be very convenient, because you cannot use
"ordinary" programs which exist in almost all operating systems (such
as `telnet').
