mTCP Telnet should work. You'll just need to find the correct driver for the PS/2's network card, though.
1) Is the Model 25 capable of color?
If so, how do I enable it in DOS 5.0?
2) What telnet clients are available for DOS 5.0?
3) Would it be possible to install and run Linux via dual-boot on one
of these computers?

one of these computers?
possibly but it would likely need to be an older simpler *nix... certainly none of today's memory hogs... think of the memory ;)

minix would run like a charm on it.

Hi folks, I have a few questions regarding a 1987 IBM PS/2 Model 25
I've been tinkering with:
1) Is the Model 25 capable of color? If so, how do I enable it in DOS
5.0?
2) What telnet clients are available for DOS 5.0?
3) Would it be possible to install and run Linux via dual-boot on one
of these computers?
I've been getting into vintage computing as a hobby lately, but there
are some things I need help with from time to time. Thanks all and I
look forward to hearing from you!
yup... i ran minix and i think another one maaaannny moons ago... i wish i had today's knowledge and understanding back then... it would have been much easier... but then again, IIRC, minix is what lead to today's linux for various reasons ;)
That could be a challenge. I don't think the 25 had a microchannel
slot.
Well maybe. Wikipedia says the 80286 Model 25s had ISA (not MCA) slots but the 8088 Model 25s had no expansion slots at all.

I still have the Model M keyboard from that system. :)
I worked a job back then that was all IBM. I had a Model 80 - the tower
