Most certainly.  That is what rlogin is for.

(To those who do not agree, I will say only this:  Yes, it is true
that a CBREAK rsh is not quite the same as rlogin.  That is because
rsh is supposed to be far simpler than rlogin.  Handling the full
job of emulating a local terminal is rather complex; and rsh does
none of the task, while rlogin does as much as it can.)
