Interesting problem. I have been running NCSA Telnet now for about 3 months
on a PhoneNET network and over a GatorBox with almost no problems at all.
I have never had a crash or a keyboard problem. The only problem that I have
experienced is with the FTP implementation. 

You might want to double check your config files, or, if you like, I could
e-mail you a copy of mine so that you can compare the two. 

Make sure you are not doubling up on the IP addresses!
