Early 3c505 drivers didn't work well at all.  Try more recent releases of the
public domain driver set maintained by Russ Nelson at Clarkson University.
I use these with cutcp, the Clarkson package which started from NCSA Telnet
and is diverging from the work done by NCSA.  It is a very solid package
now.  If you are using the driver that is/was available at uiuc.edu for
inclusion in NCSA Telnet..it never worked right for me.  BTW, I am not
using the Release 7 driver, but a little earlier driver.  The release 7
driver fails to establish itself.  I haven't gotten back to it with
a debugger to see what is going on.  I could make available the exact
binary file, autoexec.bat, and config.tel files I am using if this would
help you.  Ron.
