Zterm was the serial terminal under 68k, maybe it also did telnet,
no memories of that right now.
There may have been a Communications Toolbox (CTB) module for telnet,
but I never used one. I think I used NCSA Telnet, BetterTelnet, and
NiftyTelnet.
If you want "the terminal" in the sense of a comamnd prompt prepare
to be baffled: there is NONE on the old macs
There *was* none. There is now:
http://www.metamage.com/code/MacRelix/
It doesn't do any kind of terminal emulation, so it's no good for
curses apps, but it has bare-bones implementations of tcpcat,
tcpclient, and htget. TCP support currently depends on Open
Transport, so you'll need System 7.5.x or later for that.
If instead you wish to run unix commands... MPW is what you want.
MPW is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike Unix. :-) There are
several packages (besides MacRelix) that give you a Unix-like command
shell in classic Mac OS: MacMiNT, PATMOS, Mac06, and MachTen, off
the top of my head. I don't think the first two provide networking.
The latter two are proprietary. All are unsupported.
