You don't need a shell script.  You can remap the serial I/O directly using
STTY and MAPCHANNEL or other likewise serial features.  STTY can drop either
 or  and map the other character to a UNIX newline.  I
once ran an
ATARI ATASCII machine in native mode through a UNIX without any problems aside
from some programs needing 80 columns, but EX/ED and DC ran in ATASCII.  You
set up your control character editing in STTY and your box graphics in
TERMCAP/TERMINFO.  A shell script will work as well.  There are many different
paths to a solution when using UNIX....  MS-DOS was designed to interchange
with MicroSoft Xenix via undocumented features.  Xenix was their development
system, or so I am told....
