I remember  that  some older NCSA  Telnet versions  did  not work with
portable and then the  answer was to  use  newer BYU Telnet. So  first
check that you are using the latest NCSA Telnet and if it doesn't work
then try  the  latest BYU Telnet. I think  I have both at ftp.funet.fi
(also known as nic.funet.fi, 128.214.6.100) in pub/mac/comm dir.
