NCSA Telnet comes in two versions. One that has it's own TCP/IP routines
and one that uses MacTCP *IF YOU HAVE IT ALREADY*. It does NOT come with
MacTCP because of the $2500 fee. You can get MacTCP from APDA for $100.00
one machine (only) and then get the revised version of NCSA Telnet. You 
are then up and running!
