Telnet problem..

[kaser at ee.rochester.edu]

   We have finally got to the point on our ethernet and ApleTalk
networks to try and set up Telnet from our Mac's.  Our Kinetics
FastPath has its IP routing enabled and everything in that respect
is just fine.  We also transfered via FTP the new version of
Telnet (v2.2).  

  This is where the oddities start.  We modified our "config.tel"
to what we think it should be, but when Telnet 2.2 is fired up
it comes up with an error.  The error reads "Invalid key word in
config file".  After clicking the mouse button, a second message
appears which reads "Event queue full, probably none fatal".
Then its back to the original message for 10-20 times.  Then the
dialogue box  appears for "CONTINUE or QUIT".  Selecting continue
causes the original message to appear some more and then Telnet
starts to run without any errors.

  Also, we are interested in using dynamically assigned IP addresses.
For now, we are able to establish sessions by specifying an IP address
within the allowable range.

  Any pointers or help on either problem would be greatly appreciated.

  My "config.tel" follows.
