  I experienced a similar thing with Telnet 2.2D.
  When using a packet driver (3c501.com at int 0x60) I couldn't an IP
address via RAPR. (I don't recall if I got the same error though -- I
believe that it may have just timed out)
  When switching to the internal 3c501 driver, I had no problem at
all (with both Telnet and ftp). Could this be a limitation of the
packet driver??
