Yes, but you'll need to make sure telnet access is enabled via the web
interface. If you're going to do that on a regular basis, consider installing
SSH on the box as well.
As a failsafe, most of the Qubes now support a serial console (you must hold
some button while it's booting up to toggle it on or off). And, just to be
bizarre, the it's 8-N-1, but at 115200 (I think that's it -- whatever the max
baud rate of the 16550 UART is). A null modem cable will get you a prompt.
