We are experiencing a problem in using Telnet on 1M macintoshes.  We
have several groups of LocalTalk-connected Macintoshes, connected to
an EtherNet backbone with Kinetics Fastpath boxes and Cayman
Gatorboxes.  This past Monday, the 1M Macintoshes could no longer
successfully use NCSA Telnet to connect to the local Unix machines.
There are no problems on Macintoshes with more memory.  Upon using the
Fastpath Manager on the 1 Meg Macs, I discovered that they could not
even see the Fastpath box, while Macs in their daisy-chain could use
that same box just fine.  This is a complete mystery to us, at this
point; there are a couple of things we're thinking of trying, but they
are basically shots in the dark.  Do these symptoms ring any bells for
anyone.  BTW, we have considered the possibility of a change to the
network (figure the problem is not in the software per se, since
Telnet disks that worked fine prior to the problem don't now under the
described circumstances); our hardware folk have declared this highly
unlikely, however.  I'm keeping an open mind; any and all suggestion
will be considered and appreciated.
