I have just gotten version 2.3b11 of NCSA Telnet up and running,
and everything seems pretty good, except for a serious problem
I've encountered with the FTP program: when I log in and do
a "put" command to transfer from my PC to a Sun host (running
Sun/OS 4.0.3), about two hashmarks ("#") appear, then the transfer
hangs up.  The Sun shows the file as 0-length.  I can ^C-Break
to stop FTP, but shortly afterwards my PC usually locks up,
requiring a reboot.  I'm using version 7.0 of the Clarkson packet
drivers for the 3-Com 3C505 Ethernet board on the PC, which is
a CompuAdd 12 Mhz. clone.  The FTP "get" and "mget" commands
seem fine.  The FTP "put" and "mput" used to work just fine
under NCSA v. 2.2.

Have I encountered a new or known bug, or is there perhaps
something wrong with my configuration?
