          What is the "best" version of public domain telnet that runs
          with LocalTalkPC cards?   Where can this be ftp'd from?
       
       Not sure.  Katie Stevens of UCDavis wrote a localtalk packet
       driver.  I'm not sure if it's interoperable with your
       equipment.  But if it is, then you can use it with any TCP/IP
       package that supports the packet drivers, i.e. NCSA Telnet,
       CUTCP, KA9Q, FTP, Win/TCP, etc...
       
   When she got the 'type' value from me for the driver, she mentioned that it
   was 'real Appletalk' as opposed to 'fake Ethernet over Appletalk'.  Thus it
   requires software which understands Class 5 packet formats & demultiplexing.
   Of the packages Russ mentions, KA9Q is the only one I'd bet on.

James is quite right, and I am quite wrong.  You need patches for KA9Q to
get it to use the LocalTalk packet driver.  None of the other packet driver
clients will work with it.
