I am trying to use NCSA telnet (version 2.2 7/5/88) and am having
some trouble. It is configured to use the Apple EtherTalk card.
Here's the problem. When I try to connect to a host I get
"Couldn't connect to execu" followed by "Local Host or Gateway
not responding". I am confused because telnet will dynamically
get my Mac II IP address over the net using RARP but it is unable
to talk to the host that gave it. What gives? :-(

My config.tel file looks like this:

hardware=Ether
name=execu;hostip=192.9.200.3

Any help or pointer will be appreciated.
