Just to add fuel to the fire (:-) ) I noted that using NCSA Telnet with
MacTCP can result in a crash and burn of the Mac if you have the following
scenario:

	- open telnet session on host
	- crash macintosh (maybe by doing my typical development :-))
	- open new telnet session on host
	- note that there are two session on host
	- kill old session
	-  B O O M

It sure sounds as if this problem is the same as the one that Steve
indicates and means that the MacTCP problem is not just with Eudora.
