Yep. It's possible and that's the _power_ I'm talking about...
the power to control _everything_ from a telnet client.
On MacOS X, you need to enable remote logins in /etc/inetd.conf.
I've used this a couple times when, after installing Palm Desktop,
the GUI couldn't start. The first time, I had to reinstall OS X
from scratch. After reinstalling, I modified the system so telnet
server would start by default. Next time Palm crap crashed the GUI, I
was able to log in remotely, search the problematic drivers and delete
them without reinstalling.
