You need software to allow you to configure the network software (set the
network address, specify gateways and name servers, etc.).
You need a telnet client to allow you to connect to a host in order to
start up X clients (display manager protocols help here).
If the terminal allows you to use the telnet and/or configuration mode
while still running the X server then you need some form of multitasking.
