Several of us here have been using Release 2.1e of NCSA Telnet under MultiFinder for some time now. The only problem is that we have to select the EtherTalk driver under the Network entry of the Control Panel after we boot before it will work. (We're talking over EtherNet.) > If so, does the MPW version of ncsa telnet correct this problem? I didn't know that an MPW version of Telnet existed. If it is available, what version is it, and can it be posted to the net or made available some other way?

On startup, what should be the "About" box comes up blank under multifinder. This doesn't give me warm feelings. With or without multifinder, there are occasional problems with copy and paste. The pasted material is sometimes garbage unrelated to what was copied. More seriously, ftp doesn't seem very robust. Even without multifinder, we've had problems with corrupt transfers. Most insidious was the gratuitous insertion of 11 bytes of junk into a 10 megabyte ASCII file. To be fair, this might be a problem with our Kinetics gateway. Retransmitting during a low traffic period gave us a clean copy. >If so, does the MPW version of ncsa telnet correct this problem? Another poster mentioned a version 2.2b. Is this a new general release? From where can I ftp it?
