Total > lockup, nothing to do but reboot. fortunately that particlar thing does not happen on my Mac (LC II, 7.1, MacTCP 2.0.6) when I use NCSA Telnet to connect to a Linux machine. However, there are a few other situations where I can reliably crash NCSA Telnet on my Mac, too. The b in 2.7b4 is quite justified. :-( It's a big shame NCSA dropped development of Telnet. BTW, it looks to me as if Sydney Urshan Music's Interscript Demo 1.0, although not labelled beta, still does have the same bugs. :-( -- Georg Schwarz schwarz@physik.tu-berlin.de, kuroi@cs.tu-berlin.de Institut für Theoretische Physik +49 30 314-24254, FAX -21130 Technische Universität Berlin http://home.pages.de/~schwarz/
