 We had a similar problem with freezing sessions on one of our
 AppleTalk nets using this combination (or using Brown TN3270
 or Stanford MacIP in place of BYU Telnet).  We use K-Star in
 combination with atalkad from KIP to administer IP addresses on
 our K-boxes, and our problem was caused by having static addresses
 defined for this AppleTalk net. Once we deleted the static
 addresses and had atalkad only allow dynamic addresses, everything
 worked fine.  The culprit seems to be MacTCP, since using the
 non-MacTCP versions of BYU Telnet/Brown TN3270/Stanford MacIP
 did not show this problem when we allowed static addresses,
 but I have not investigated this further to determine if it
 is indeed MacTCP's fault.
