- NCSA telnet doesn't work with path MTU discovery enabled. This is due to a
- bug in NCSA that also stops it working with other modern networking code
- such as Solaris.

- There is a fixed version somewhere on ftp.upe.ac.za (sorry, I don't
- remember the exact pathname, and this site is very slow from here).
- It may or may not be faster for you to get it from
- ftp://ftp.ists.pwr.wroc.pl/pub/msdos/telnet/ncsa_upe/tel23074.zip
- (source is in v230704s.zip). I have tested it with 1.3.79 (with
- path mtu discovery enabled - ncsa 2.3.08 didn't work) and it seems
- to work. I don't know if anyone is working on this code - this
- version is over a year old. Too bad - it's faster and often more
- stable than these windoze telnets, and runs on almost anything...
