Years ago I had a Mac Plus, and very successfully used Mac Kermit to 
connect to a shell account.  Here's the address of the Kermit FAQ from
which you can find the software...

We also sometimes used Red Ryder -- and perhaps a local user group
can find you a diskette with the old shareware version of that software.
You might contact Washington Apple Pi -- http://www.wap.org if you 
can't find a copy in your local area.
