It is.

You can telnet to any port. Try 'telnet www.yahoo.com 80'. So there is
no need to sit on a low port (and have to run Squeak as root).
I would probably write a 'squeaksh' front-end in C. It could use the GNU
readline library in order to give a comfortable command-line environment
(with history, tab completion, etcetera). The 'squeaksh' front-end would
connect to Squeak, either with HTTP (make every entered command a HTTP
PUT) or XML-RPC.
