IBM's TCP/IP V1.1 contains a telnet server of sorts.  You can telnet
into the OS/2 machine, as long as you don't run any PM applications
at which point the session gets stuck, and as long as you don't need
a mouse it works.  There are lots of small restrictions, such as if
you "exit" the shell instead of "logoff", the connection hangs and
you must be a vt100 or ansi terminal.

PM over telnet would be impossible.  I would be interested in knowing
if Microsoft or anyone else has a product that allows remote PM sessions.
It would bring the functionality closer to X.
