Why not learn how to program stuff for MacOS 7 and write up a
decent telnet/ssh client?

All the telnet/ssh side of stuff is done - you'll just have to write
up a decent terminal emulator.

Start with putty - you can get the source for that - and see if
its going to be easy or hard to adapt the actual terminal emulation
side of things.

Running linux on the macs is fun, but they're macs, not PCs.
Besides, one should be able to play network bolo now. :)
