I've been running DESQview and NCSA Telnet for about 6 months.
I am using DV rev. 2.25 and NCSA rev. 2.2 (dated 7/1/88 on the help screen).
I don't know if this is the Clarkson-modified version.

I have run this combination on an HP AT-compatible Vectra and an HP RS/20C 
Vectra (386).  On the AT-compatible, I was using EEMS memory on an
Intel Above Board Plus card.  In this configuration Telnet ran in the
background with about 6 backgound ticks and 9 foreground ticks.
I did experience crashes several times a month.  These occured most often
while I was doing heavy file activity in the foreground.

On the RS/20C, I haven't had to adjust the ticks, and I have not experienced
many crashes.

I also tried Telnet rev 2.2D (~3/?/89), but it crashed regularly.
This version displays a clock on the bottom part of the screen.  The older
version of Telnet seems to run much better for me.  The older version is
slower, and occasionally the display lags behind the keyboard.

Hope this helps...
