This is not really a Mozart related question.

bash thinks it is talking to a regular stream because it IS.  You have
exactly the same issue with pipes when doing shell programming.  If
you need a PTY, it needs to be explicitly allocated.  I don't think
that bash can do that.  On the other hand ssh has the -t option for
just this occasion (pretty convenient for tunelling a regular terminal
connection through several host indirections, btw).

On the other hand, using Oz just for establishing a terminal
connection isn't exactly what the technology was intended for :-) We
were kind of aiming at something a little beyond that, ahem...
