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

As I recall MacOS 7 requires co-operative multitasking (that sounds evil
already)

    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.

Let's add the idea off writing to my, 'think about it' list. Considering
my project list is already quite long. (i think this is something to do
with my short attension span).
I have a few pieces of code to do already, and I want to fuck around
with the kernel on my mac a bit (see if I can't get a semi working
incantation of the sound and floppy drivers)

Of course, if someone else wanted to write one... I'm sure UCC would
love to let you use the mac's to develop it ;)

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

Yes, Bolo is good, although not really my style.
