Does anyone know how to get NCSA Telnet to access a subnet of
a class B net (i.e. subnet mask 255.255.255.0)?  I have tried
all kinds of values in the "Use Subnetting Mask" box of NCSA
Telnet version 2.0 (a great piece of software at the perfect
price!), including "ffffff00", "ff.ff.ff.0", "0xff.0xff.0xff.0",
all of the previous with "F"s, and 255.255.255.0.  All cases
seem to have no effect; from what I can see (with tcpdump on
a Sun) it looks like the Kbox catches the packet, makes its own
decision as to whether it is going to a different network (which
doesn't detect subnets) and arps for the host on the attached
Ethernet (which the host isn't attached to).

The Kbox is running release # 5 of the KIP code (I assume...
the srec file I load to it is "at-gw.srec.5").

Any help will be greatly appreciated,
