I clipped this from a response and don't have the base note.  I will 
admit to a couple of bugs, but usually crashes are due to incorrect
installation.  The installation is quite tricky and Apple's MacTCP 
should help with that, Kinetics K-Star software is helping too.

The keyboard mapping is for compatibility with machines which have no
control key.  Turn off control key mapping to retain your keyboard
layout.

Some version number information would help, the current release of
NCSA Telnet for the Macintosh is version 2.2, it has been running fine
on System 5.0 or later, all Macs with > 1MB of memory.
