A Mac Application package, Versaterm 4.5, along with being a plain, old serial
terminal emulator, also provides Telnet and FTP services over TCP.  Emulation
of the Telnet driver is VT100.  TEK4014 emulation is also provided.  A
separate application also provides a telnet "server" for all Macs connected
via a local AppleTalk network through the Ethernet TCP port.  All this for
<$100US mail order.  Can you beat that?
