For what it's worth.  I've lately been successfully running NCSA Telnet on a 
'XT-ized' Tandy 1000A.  It's got 640KB and 20MB MFM.  Also, the T1000 has that 
weird blend of CGA and 16-color CGA that was in the PCjr (don't remember what 
it's acronym is, right now), but I have no problems running the NCSA Telnet 
package.  My config is set for 'CGA'.
