You go out and buy a copy of the RISC OS TCP/IP kit which includes telnet, a VT220 emulator and Archi. NFS. It works very well, I use it every day. It has a number of advantages including long file names and it does sensible UNIX<>RISC OS name mapping too. The desktop filer is a bit buggy when run with long file names but I reported it to Acorn and they said they were fixing it. I think it cost quite a bit one off but the site licence is cheep by comparison.
