but you didn't use them as your telnet terminal...
JW> think a 386sx 25 with a 1200baud modem was the first

now, take that box with DOS 6.22 on it and put the TCP/IP networking stack on
it... that networking stack will likely use either a network card or the modem
for the connection just like we see now... now, on that pure DOS box with
TCP/IP networking, what do you use to telnet with?
