I'm using NCSA Telnet's own static addressing, without MacTCP (since I never got around to setting up K-Star for dynamic addressing). I have a Mac SE with a EtherSC on it, and I've had lots of periodic crashes with NCSA. Usually it will happen after many hours of running NCSA, or several launches of it. Lately it's settled down, and I _do_ realize that it could be any one of a million other things, but it always seemed to somehow be related to NCSA. I'm using v2.3, and I guess now is the time to at least mention it - perhaps there are others like your- self and myself out there who have had this problem but have ignored it like I have, thinking that it was merely some init conflict or other...
