I have just installed a Shiva Netserial for dial-in access to our AppleTalk
network.  This works fine (or at least acceptably) at 2400 baud.  However,
when I tried to use Telnet I would get "Host not responding" messages.

We have a GatorBox and use MacTCP to support the Telnet.  I am presuming that 
the problem is that MacTCP times out before I make the connection.  I can see 
that Telnet without MacTCP allows you to set a timeout value, but I do not see 
any hooks in MacTCP to change this.

I am correct, and if so how can I change MacTCP?
