We've been working on a similar thing, but our telnet apps launch pretty 
easily. We simply use Netscape as the front end, and users can click
on a link to our OPAC (currently accessible through telnet for Windows-
based PCs). But no one needs any type of an ID to get to our library
catalog... (which is the only thing we use telnet for). 

Is that what you mean?
