Dave,

I have seen the problem of TCP getting into a hung state with NCSA telnet,
but it generally happens to me during an FTP (the byte count stops
incrementing and then the file transfer times out with no error message).
Perhaps this is related.  The next time it happens to me I will try and use
dumper to contact the mac and see if the same problem occurs.  

However, it just dawned on me that the routing that the Dumper RDEV uses in
the AppleTalk routing (which has a lot to do with atalkatab) and Telnet
depends on the IP routing, which is almost non-existant.  The only thing the
"routing" the TELNET requires of the gateway is for the gateway to proxy arp
and remember the mapping between IP addresses and AppleTalk ones.

It also seems that the next logical thing to try is to NOT reboot the mac,
but reboot the KBox, and then start TELNET again and see what happens.

Sound resonable ?
