Subject: MacTCP Conflict with Std TelNet?

I am implementing a network news reader on my network.
The net news reader utilizes MacTCP.
Most of my users are using the standard (Non-MacTCP) 
version of TelNet V2.3. 

While I know that I cannot have both tools running at
the same time without a conflict, I should be able to 
run them sequentially.

It appears that once one tool is used,
the second tool cannot access the necessary port. 
This occurs even when the first tool has been quit.

I know that the simplest thing to do is convert everyone
to a version of TelNet that supports MacTCP.  Unfortunately
this will mean extra work for me and confusion for the users.

My Question: am I doing something wrong or is there a conflict?
What is the exact nature of the conflict?

Thanks
