GTP puts no restrictions on what you use as communication channel.  It is
only assumed to be free of errors (i.e. GTP doesn't include any error
checking like checksums etc.)  Your channel only needs to be able to get
a line of symbols at one end and transfer them to the other without changes.
If anyone see it fits his needs, he can use trained pigeons to transfer
GTP commands and responses.

You just neeed to

  1) establish a connection be that a pipe, TCP/IP connection, a dedicated
     mailing list or a person willing to retype commands/responses
     appearing on one screen to another program;

  2) make sure that both engine and controller know how to use your
     communication channel properly.
