[comp.dcom.lans] NCSA telnet 2.2DS on PS/2 hangs the floppy AND other NCSA questions

Yes, I know this is an ancient version (the S subversion is the national
character set extension), but I'd like to know if this is a known problem ?

The PS/2 is set up with a Western Digital EtherCard Plus/A (default settings,
didn't see any reason to change them) and the NCSA telnet 2.2DS using the
latest Clarkson packet driver.  Do I need a separate version for PS/2 ?

Telnet and ftp work perfectly.  What happens is that when you open a session
to a host computer (even if you only press ^D once to close the session by
terminating login(1)), your system will hang the next time you try to access
the floppy drive.

I have newer versions of NCSA telnet (2.3b1) and the Clarkson University
variant (CUTE/CUTCP 2.2D rev -C), but haven't yet had time to look at them
properly.  Are there any significant differences between these versions ?
What we specially need is 1) possibility to remap keyboard (NCSA has this)
2) possibility to remap display characters (do either of these have it ?) to
provide for national 7-bit character sets.
