Yes, the way I do it is to load the packet driver upon invocation of
telnet or ftp.  You probably have typically loaded the packet driver
from the autoexec.bat file.  Move this command line to the telnet.bat
and ftp.bat files in the NCSA subdirectory.  Now after opening a DOS
seesion the driver will not be loaded until you actually need it.

The one minor(major?) annoyance with this arrangement is you can only
telnet or ftp in one DOS session at a time.  Any attempt to open
another DOS session and telnet will cause a lockup because the packet
drivers will contend.  Since NCSA telnet allows multiple sessions
itself I don't think its a big deal. Email if need actual copies of
the .bat files.
