No, All-In-One is a PDP-11/VAX-11 collection of office automation programs out of various places in DEC not based on EMACS at all. However, if the Telnet implementation on both machines (the one you're Telneting from and the one you're Telneting to) don't twist control characters and escape sequences, you'll probably be safe. We use Telnet (Berkeley's on our VAXes, 3Com's on our 68K micros) to run full-screen software all the time here, so at least those two implementations permit it. Note, however, that echoing *must* be done by the remote host, i.e. the one actually running All-In-One. Full-screen programs do their own echoing and even disable any echoing done by the OS on the machine they're running on; echoing done by the machine being Telneted from would not work at all.
