Well, far from me to disagree/correct John but the spyfs package comes with
the spycontrol program which, according to the docs:

"The spycontrol program is the most powerful demonstration program in SPY.
It allows you to both observe and control another person's activity, turning
your keyboard and screen into a mirror of theirs. All keystrokes you type
(including the SUSPEND, QUIT, and INTERRUPT keys) are sent to the tty
you're controlling. Because of this, spycontrol uses the special keys used
by rlogin(TC) to terminate the program, as explained below"

I dove have a copy of the spyfs package with me (dunno if it's been updated
during these years) so if anyone's interested, please post here and I'll be
happy to help.

Best,
Rob
