Ah yes, I remember setting up a telnet server on my
old Amigas like this
as well (as part of AS225). In fact, it was quite usable, especially if
you had that patch the would kill any requesters that popped up;
particularily those "Insert Volume" ones.
All of the software I used was readily available on Aminet.
A couple of friends of mine did the exact same thing with thier A3000
for the sole purpose of being able to be on IRC at the same time on a
single dial-up. The only difference was that the other system they
had hooked up to the A3000 was a Mac II-series machine. I loved the
flexibility that the Multiface III gave me as far as it's high speed
serial ports.
