If you have MacTCP, you should do this with the MacTCP Control Panel, and
use the MacTCP version of NCSA Telnet.  I don't think it would be a good
idea to mix MacTCP with the Telnet that has a built-in driver.  Probably would
crash.

You can also do this with Stanford MacIP, and HyperFTP.  HyperFTP
is really nice -- click on a directory, you drop into it; click on
a file name, you get a SFPutFile dialog to specify where to put
the recieved file.  I'm pretty sure HyperFTP is available from
sumex-aim.stanford.edu, and MacIP should be.  The about box says
to direct comments to macip@jessica.stanford.edu.

A fellow I have been corresponding with has the BYU NCSA Telnet.  His 
version does not use MacTCP.  Is there one that does, with the BYU 
modifications?

If you are at a University, or a company with more than 10 or so macs, there
is no reason not to get MacTCP.  It is site-licensed for a very reasonable
fee.  Individuals may purchase "evaluation copies" from APDA, I believe.
Your organization may already have it site-licensed -- the whole University
of California does, I hear -- ask your system administrator.
