Ponder, there was something I was using close to 95... I forget what it was
now.. but that was to late for us.  Earlier if you wanted telnet you'd need
to dial a text shell and telnet from there..

Some of the early telnet clients also didn't cope with ANSI BBS very well
either.  Sure they could manage some colour and movement.. but BBS pages
tended to push the envelope in comparrison to what the clients were designed
for.
