 CS> 1) Is the Model 25 capable of color?

yes, with the right monitor...

 CS> If so, how do I enable it in DOS 5.0?

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 ;)
