[Coco] Play with NitrOS-9 over the Internet

Hi George, you said:

I used the command line (MSDOS Command Prompt) Telnet command, and the 
backspace in that worked fine, albeit with a seemingly slow response. 
Remember it needs to do backspace - space - backspace. Could just have been 
my slow (Shaped) connection, too.
