If your ISP will permit it (or you can go behind their backs ) you should be able to. I frankly would take this to my Linux User Group to discuss it. Login shells are very straightforward.
Sure. You’ll need to create a socket to receive data, and your client programs can be custom Python programs or basic telnet/ssh clients that connect to your host. http://docs.python.org/library/socket.html#example
Of course, this means you’re opening your computer for remote access, which can be troublesome.
Your computer will need a direct IP address. If it’s coming through a router, the actual server may not be visible to the clients (It depends on how the router is configured.)
Most broadband providers also use DHCP to assign IP numbers, which means the IP address of your server may change without warning. That will make it hard for people to find you.
