I am successfully using BYU Telnet 2.3.4 with System 7.0 but have also had a
minor font problem.  Monaco 9pt works fine, as does Courier.  However, Monaco
12pt produces distorted characters, as if the bitmap font has not been installed
in the system.  When I replace the System 7.0 Monaco 12 bitmap font in my
system folder with the old System 6.07 version of the Monaco 12 bitmap font all
is back to normal.
