It may be possible that there is a font number conflict.

NCSA Telnet will react as you mentioned any time the selected font is pro-
portionally spaced.  (What happens is that the width of the widest character
is used for all characters so that the text continues to line up in columns.)
Therefore, I would have to assume that Telnet is using a font other than
Monaco for the window.  You could try selecting Monaco from the font menu
and see if that clears the problem.

Oh, ja, before I forget, I've not had any problems running SuitcaseII
(either 1.2.3 or 1.2.2) with Telnet 2.2 or 2.3.
