Telnet with Windows 3.1

[danforth]

I have been using EWAN for telnetting on Win3.1  It  seems to work quite
nicely.  It opens in front of Netscape.  The term from Winqvt also works
nicely.  If you install the full Winqvt suite though, I find that I have to
manually close Winqvt before Netsape can open it a 2nd time.
