Summary:
Telnet hangs shortly after logging into our Microvax-II, running Ultrix 2.2.

Details:
NCSA Telnet 2.2 running on a Mac IIcx with system 6.0.3 (but same
problem with other macs, e.g. Plus and 6.0.2), connected to AppleTalk. 
Kinetics FastPath 2 gateway to the ethernet, running KIP release of 6/88;
ROM version 3.0 (4.2 gives me a headache).
The Microvax-II on the ethernet is running Ultrix 2.2.

Telnetting to other machines - Suns running SunOS 3.x, or Microvaxen
running BSD 4.3 - it seems to work normally.  But I log in to the Ultrix
machine and do something to generate a page or two of text
(e.g., `ps -aux`), and the connection hangs halfway through. The window
on the Mac disappears after a while, presumably because of timeouts.

Any suggestions on why the connection would die?

Thanks.
