I have a 4MB Mac IIx with System 6.04 running Multifinder.  The Mac has an
Apple Ethernet card.  I have NCSA Telnet 2.3, Brown University TN3270 2.3d7,
MacTCP 1.0, and Ethertalk 2.0b2.  Using NCSA Telnet, I can Telnet into a local
Vax with no problem.  Using TN3270, I can log into a local IBM mainframe with
no problem.  However, I cannot seem to get them to work at the same time.  In
other words, I would like to have a Vax session and an IBM session available at
all times.  I would move back and forth between the two programs using normal
Multifinder controls.  I can start either of the programs with no problem, but
when I try to start the other program, I get messages such as

"Network Initialization Failed    Couldn't Install IP Handler[E]". 

Has anyone out there been able to do what I want to do?  If so, please let me 
know.  I'm not always able to read this list, so if you could send me a direct
reply, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot!
