   yes, with the right monitor...

   ANSI.SYS in CONFIG.SYS... however, that only affects certain things... there's   
   nothing like being able to get a directory listing with the files in different   
   colors based on their extensions... you need a binary tool for that...   
      
    CS> 2) What telnet clients are available for DOS 5.0?   
      
   not many... they're going to need the network stack drivers loaded for   
   whatever NIC you can find... then getting that NIC connected to a wire is   
   going to be fun... you might get lucky and find an early CAT5 capable NIC that   
   will fit the slots but you may have to go back further to the coaxial cable   
   connection with the 'T' and terminators on each end... finding a CAT5 switch   
   with a BNC connector may be tough, too...

   possibly but it would likely need to be an older simpler *nix... certainly   
   none of today's memory hogs... think of the memory ;)
