Thanks to all who replied. The answer is: Word Perfect Office ( WPO ) moves Telnet to extended memory someplace. When a packet comes in, the packet driver does a FAR CALL to where telnet used to be. What ever happens to be there gets executed ( e.g. the middle of your Lotus spread sheet ). One suggestion is to use ( a currently non existent ) version of vt100 telnet that is TSR ( terminate and stay ready ) so you can "hot key" between it and WPO and its covey of programs. Currently, only Clarksons TN3270 is TSR. Any PC vt100 telnets that: 1) support packet drivers? 2) are TSR? Thanks again.
