I'm using cisco's version of NCSA Telnet. It works well but only supports
serial line speeds up to 19,200 (38400 gives illegal speed (grrrr)). It
did not work with compressed SL/IP (I'd like to find a version that does
though). I retrieved this version by mailing to;

BITFTP%PUCC.BITNET@uunet.uu.net

with this message body

FTP ftp.cisco.com
BINARY
GET telnet.hqx.Z
QUIT

The file is quite large (241333 bytes) which will increase in size
once BITFTP does a uuencode to reship it to you via the above mechanism.

NCSA Telnet from cisco is unsupported but free (I hope!!).
(I'm using it with a SPARC SunOS4.1 and SL/IP sw retreived from "neat" (details
 below) I have 2-way ftp (either side may be master) and multiple telnet
 sessions from mac->unix host running simultaneously).

To retrieve the unix SL/IP stuff, mail BITFTP (address above) with
the following message body

FTP neat.ai.toronto.edu
CD pub
BINARY
GET slipware.tar.Z
QUIT

slipware.tar.Z is LARGE...758593 bytes BEFORE uuencoded by BITFTP.
