Esphome stream *client*

I have been using Oxan’s esphome-stream-server for a while with satisfactory results. This is a component bridging an ESP32 serial port to TCP/IP, so the serial port can be accessed remotely. This component acts as a server.

However, I have a use case by which an Esphome device must access a networked terminal server, thus the Esphome should connect as a client. Does such a component exist ? I gather it is a small modification to Oxan’s component, but I do not have the knowledge to do it myself.

Thanks for any help.
