My experience with PC/Mac related TCP/IP (SLIP) software (KA9Q) is
that you need a psuedo tty (login proces) as well as a telnet
port in order to gain access to the PC/Mac.  Most of the time,
I FTP to the PC/Mac and move about from directory-to-directory,
as well as list directories and upload/download files within the
FTP shell.  I don't know of any PC/Mac applications which would
launch on the PC/Mac and output over telnet.  X-Windows clients
might be the closest you'll get.  Hope this helps.
