As I understand it, all OSX is the UNIX OS with a MacOS like window manager in front of it. Unlike Windows, with *NIX you can run different window managers, or none at all (all command line on the console). Of course you should be able to access other machines from the terminal on the OSX box. I am sure that telnet and ssh are supported, and I would hope you can run X apps from another host if you wanted to.
