NCSA Telnet was tested on a PS/2 Model 80 with a 3C523 board during
development and beta testing.  Other sites have reported success also.

Two things to check:
1. NCSA Telnet, unless future versions specify explicitly, requires no
additional drivers, manufacturers' or otherwise, to run.  Some drivers
co-exist (more or less), and some drivers conflict with NCSA Telnet.
When in doubt, try running NCSA Telnet without any other network
drivers in place.

2. NCSA Telnet will probably read the POS in the future, but for now,
it requires that you set up the board addresses in the config.tel file.
When you install your board with the POS software (reference disk),
write down the I/O address and the shared memory address.  Install
these in the config.tel file.  THEY ARE REQUIRED.
example:
address=c000       # shared memory address default (autoconfig)
ioaddr=300         # I/O address default (autoconfig)

Send mail to telbug@ncsa.uiuc.edu if you have further problems.
