I may have come in late here... but what is wrong with using vmodem to allow 
inbound telnet to the system? If you are trying to use text apps with a 
straight telnet then the app has to be written to use STDIN and STDOUT. Most 
text apps (for speed reasons) don't do this. Most UNIX ports to OS2 however 
do this inately as that is a standard UNIX thing.
