 I would have thought (though I haven't tried it) that you could have
installed a text-only linux easily in this machine, and had a proper
telnet. The advantage to doing it this way is that you could run
multiple virtual sessions and just use ALT/Fx to switch between them.
At a pinch (and it will swap like nobody's business), you could run X,
possibly making it a bit smaller by installing the monochrome driver.

 OTOH KA9Q is a good alternative, although the session switching is a
bit clunky,
