Yes, Brent Noorda implemented a TELNET for the PC that does this at
TOPS last year.  It's not very full featured but does appear to be
robust and efficient.  TOPS drove Brent away as well through its
antihumanistic policies, and then sat on his work, so I don't think
it's available.

"The Diabolonian position is new to the London playgoer of today, but not to
 lovers of serious literature.  From Prometheus to the Wagnerian Siegfried,
 some enemy of the gods, unterrified champion of those oppressed by them, has
 always towered among the heroes of the loftiest poetry."
