Telnet Problems

I have eight or so PAWS (Public Access Web Stations) setup with DOS 6.22,
Windows 3.1, Netscape 2.0x, Adobe Acrobat ?.??.  I used parts of Novell's
LAN Work Place (LWP) for an IP stack (tcpip.exe, vtcpip.386, winsock.dll
wlibsock.dll, winmm16.dll).  The current version also has IronClad for
security but, this problem occurs with or without IronClad installed.

Netscape works fine, it will resolve hostnames, etc but, every time, I
have tried to add a telnet app (even those from LAN Work Place,
tnvt220.exe and presentr.exe; also tried Ewan and a few other free
telnets) I get host resolution errors. I striped the LWP install since
I did not need any, except telnet, of the applications that come with
it and I wanted to save space.

Anyone have _any_ idea why this might be happening? or do you have a
working Netscape/Telnet setup?  I would appreciate any help or insight
anyone would care to share.

Thanks.
