I'm writing this reply from TCP/Connect II.  Overall I like it, but it needs
at least one more maturing release.  I haven't completely switched over to
TCP/Connect for mail, as it is a bit less optimized than GNU Emacs for that
purpose.  For Telnet connections and FTP in and out of the Macintosh, it's
pretty good.  Mostly I use it for access to the Unix system that is my primary
access to the Internet.

TCP/Connect II has a lot more features than NCSA Telnet, such as FTP client
capability, 3270 emulation (which I haven't tried), and even an SNMP agent.
Even if all you want is Telnet, TCP/Connect's terminal emulator is improved
over NCSA's.
