I did it with IRC bot named ChanShell (http://www.hhp-programming.net/). It's a simple perl script, but it works (usually). Some other bots might work better. For real (linux/unix) remote servers you could perhaps keep ssh-tunnel open and communicate thru that (client would connect to remote server port x, which would be ssh-forwarded to the real server).
