[comp.protocols.appletalk] ncsa telnet + system 7

 I missed some of this discussion, what is the scoop with non-mactcp
 ncsa telnet 2.2 and 2.3 with system 7?  Does it work?

 My two cents about getting a mactcp license to make your mac telnet
 work - it's not only a cost issue, but who is going to assume
 responsibility for the mactcp distribution for the organization?
 I distribute ncsa telnet for our organization, I am not thrilled
 about possibly having to become a mactcp distributor too!!

Just for the record: I am currently using NCSA Telnet 2.3, with the NCSA TCP/IP
drivers on LocalTalk, under system 7.0 with no difficulties.  The only trouble
I had was with fonts; telnet seemed unable to find the Monaco font in the
system file, even when I removed the TrueType one and installed the bitmapped
ones instead. I had to install the font in the application resource fork; then
it found it. Other than that, no problems at all.

Version 2.3 bombed on my Classic running System 7 and using Localtalk
and a Fastpath 4, but version 2.4 has been working just fine.
