rxvt is probably what you are looking for. It is a stand-alone app and does
not require X to be installed. It has its own package so you may have to
install it via setup.exe.

Other alternatives are, for instance, installing sshd or inetd and using
your favourite ssh/telnet client to connect to localhost or installing X and
using one of the X terminals.
