- Hmmmmm .. I've set up and run NCSA Telnet on a large number and wide
- diversity of machines and never seen anything similar to this.
-
- Two suggestions.
-
- 1. Get the latest version - 2.3.05. It's available from NCSA's ftp
- site (sorry - temporarily forgotten the name).
-
- 2. If the problem persists, get hold of a MARK/RELEASE like program
- pair and see if marking and releasing around Telnet fixes problem. If
- so, Telnet is not properly releasing some memory and/or interrupts -
- report immediately to the bug report email address mentioned in the
- docs.
-
- Have you tried using a packet driver and configuring Telnet to use that
- - does the problem persist?
