I am running NCSA Telnet ver2.2d, the one that comes from clarkson.edu
and communicates with a packet driver for a WD8003e.  Everything works
fine except RARP.  I have determined that my RARP server is returning
good packets but the Telnet quits trying and complains about no response.
If I specify the IP number in the config file, it works and I can connect
to any machine just fine. (So ARP works, just not RARP).

I have no Bootp server so thats out (if you have info on bootp, I'll read
it....).

Anyone see anything like this with this software/hardware before care to
offer suggestions as to possible problems to check  for and possible
fixes?
