Second item: The config.tel file has a hardware parameter which you must change from AppleTalk to EtherSE. We have a number of SEs doing exactly what you want. The FastPath box is not a necessary part of the equation just to use Telnet, but you do need a bridge to LocalTalk to use networked printers without having to switch back and forth from BuiltIn to EtherTalk networks. You may be moderately justified in your complaint re. NCSA's MacUser Interface, but I think you will find that the PC Telnet is a port of the Macintosh original rather than the other way around.
