Telnet client for Netscape (fwd)

[Sherrida Crawford]

I am experiencing the same problem with PCTCP, and I too would like to 
know what configuration settings could be changed to avoid having to 
minimize Netscape to reach the telnet session?   

Also, is there anyway to configure Netscape so that links are not 
followed, or expire within minutes?  We forsee many questions about why 
there is text in a different color and have some concerns about 
confidentiality.
