There exist TCP/IP protocols for dial line operation, namely SLIP
and PPP. So, since TCP/IP higher layer functions like Telnet and
FTP are client/sever, then I'd say any client/server application
using TCP/IP (eg. TCP) transport could operate over a dial connection
via SLIP or PPP.

Your question is pretty broad. The answer is yes. Specifically,
TCP/IP SLIP would be one way to do it. No doubt there are others.
