I have a problem with TelNet that is causing
me great concern.  Maybe you can help.

Specifics - IIci, 8 meg, 6.0.5.

Inits - (NOTE: I removed all the inits during testing)
	TOPS, MS Mail, PopChar, Shiva Config, ATM, Capture,
	On Cue, SuitCaseII, Type Reunion, Disinfectant,
	Responder, Netstream, Public Folder.

TelNet - Problem occurs with either of the two MacTCP versions
	 TelNet.2.3.MacTCP or TelNet.2.3.2.BYU.MacTCP.  MacTCP
	 version 1.0.1.  NOTE - Non-MacTCP TelNet works fine if
	 I remove MacTCP and reboot.  I need to use MacTCP as
	 I have several other TCP related applications that 
	 require it.

Problem - As soon as TelNet begins to come up, immediately
	  after the opening logo screen, TelNet dies, i.e. 
	  no menus, no errors, no bombs, just back to the 
  	  finder.  Graceful but not very useful.

Recent changes - I upgraded to 6.0.7 recently and then 
	degraded to 6.0.5.  Is it OK to degrade?
	Also I tried using Max-Apple-Zoom
        with little luck.

I have tried, not necessarily in this order;

1) Re-install the system.
2) Rebuild the desktop.
3) Zap the PRAM.
4) Removing all the inits.
5) Boot from a floppy.
6) Reload Telnet, config.tel, MacTCP from known good source.
7) Throw away the system and re-install. 
8) Upgrade (again) to 6.0.7.
