     Don't give up on the telnet feature just yet!  The latest sources at the
UK site that was posted before fix the telnet bug (I can verify this).  The
binaries have not yet been released there.  However, I compiled the binaries
from those sources myself with GCC 2.3 a couple weeks ago, and have had no
problems with the telnet to all the sites that used to make it bomb on me
before.
    I wrote to the person who did the port for the source, and apparently he
is more active on the local UK nets than here on Usenet (from the sounds of it)
since the source is available, I don't think there would be a problem with
me uploaded to a.archive the binary that I compiled with that source?
    I'll only upload the net.ttp binary (archived of course) since the entire
rest of the package, including the docs, have remained the same.
