MUD++ was working on including a complete telnet daemon. Their purpose was
that you could do online editing in pico, emacs, or whatever directly on
the MUD server. (A hacked up version of pico, called secure pico, was
used.)
You could try the same thing and include a telnet daemon in CircleMUD.
Security will be a large concern though.
