The problem is due to the way NCSA and CUTCP TELNET/FTP access the
packet driver.  An alternative program from QPC Software (Penfield,
NY) gets around this problem by providing a TSR interface to the
packet driver, with their TELNET/FTP equivalent software accessing
this interface.

QPC Software's package is called WinQVT/Net.  It is a shareware
program in version 1.30.  TELNET with vt52/vt100/vt200 emulation and
FTP are provided.  I just began using it last week and, other than
having to setup a host table (doesn't do DNR) it works okay.  I would
like to see better fonts and Tektronix graphics terminal emulation,
but it is very usable in its present state.

WinQVT/Net is available from cica.cica.indiana.edu <129.79.20.22>.
As with all shareware, make sure you pay for it if you decide to keep
using it.
