I have been getting a few comments on NCSA Telnet 2.3b2 beta test
version, but not many.

One user timed the scrolling speed and found 2.3b2 to be 50% slower
at printing large amounts of text on the screen than v2.2.  This is
due to tuning the network access to smaller chunks.  This helps Ctrl-C
stop the scrolling instantaneously, rather than 20 or 30 lines 
after you press the key.  To speed it up again, you give up your
instant Ctrl-C.  Comments?

When you open and close a lot of sessions under 2.3b2, MPW C's malloc
function tends to fragment memory with all of the lines of scrollback.
This can get so bad as to force you to quit the program and restart
it to get enough memory to open another connection.  Does anyone
have a malloc for MPW C 2.0 which may work better?  Am I imagining
this problem?

This is the time to speak up if you are dissatisfied with the fixes in
the current beta version.  The things on my list to fix are:
Double-click on config.tel doesn't work right.
Don't try to create Settings file in AppleShare server (bug).
Commandkeys=no should set the flag in the preferences box correctly.
Password file can be in the system folder like config.tel.
Try to fix Set Transfer Directory to work on empty folders.
