I tried WinQVT/net before trying NCSA telnet ... but had to give up as 
>80% time it would die upon startup, the remaining <20% of the time it 
would die (system hung or unrecoverable application error) within 10 minutes 
... therefore being useless for me.

As my "mouse on drugs" hasn't been bothering me lately, I might try it 
again ... possibly with a little more success !

As a side note ... a recent reading  in some PC trade rag regarding the 
Hercules TIGA card (I think) mentioned buggy screen drivers resulting 
in MANY "Unrecoverable application error"s & mouse on drugs symptoms ...
