While I applaud cayman for their dedication to customer service, I must
wonder why, brian, you must use NCSA Telnet 2.3? It's easy enough to
order a copy of MacTCP (and though MacTCP needs to be rev'd for system
7, it will work with system 7 if you have VM turned off, and keep
it in the root level of system folder with an alias in the control
panels folder) and telnet 2.4b11 has many bug fixes from the 2.3 version.
Not only that, but MacTCP has much greater throughput than the
'builtin' TCP/IP protocol stack implementation in 2.3.

As a bonus, you can use a number of other programs, many PD or shareware
that require MacTCP, and you can use them concurrently. You can even
run 2 copies of telnet at the same time (try that with 2.3 and you crash).
