We are using NCSA telnet on several pc's.  We have no complaints at all
except for the IBM PS/2's.  On these machines telbin.exe will not run.
The program starts fine but when it appears to connect to another machine
all sorts of garbage fills the screen.

On most of the machines telnet is the only network software running.  ON
some of the machines we are running 3COM network software.  All the machines
have 3COM boards in them.

We can however run the tn3270.exe program on the PS/2's with no problem, 
except that when we log into the CRAY or the VAX computers they do not
understand the 3270 keyboard.

Has anyone else experienced this problem with telbin.exe on IBM PS/2
computers? and if so have you solved it?

I would be interested in any solution or suggestions.

Thanks in advance.
