I recently have setup the TCP/MacIP link layer on my Rom01 GS for telent
service via MacIP to an PPC WS8550/132 (Sys 8.6) running IPNR (ip net
router).

I have Appletalk enabled and Marinetti.v3d4 .  I am experiencing the same
difficulty with the IIGS occasionally locking up at random (even if not
doing telnet).  I also have an unresolved issue with Spectrum (v2.3)  
sometimes getting stuck repeating the same few lines over and over with
every key stroke.  No solution except to reboot.

I must admit I was pretty excited to telnet into my unix box on ethernet
from my IIGS.  Reality is dampening enthusiasm, but I wiil keep playing.
Appleshare is more important to me than telnet.  If I can get stable
telnet service I will try to install SAFE.v1.1 for FTP service.  So
far, zmodem does NOT work either.

For control purposes, I have setup another WS8550, sys 7.5.5, with TCP/IP
via MacIP to the same Mac running IPNR.  I use ProtermMac v1.5 to telnet.

Everything works fine on the Macip Mac (DNS service, telnet zmodem,
FTP(fetch 3.0.3), etc.  Appleshare is active.

The IIGS does not not work with DNS - I have to telnet by ip#
(xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).  Zmodem does NOT work via telnet.  The IIGS locks up
occasionally, or Spectrum gets stuck displaying the same info over and
over.  Appleshare seems to work as long as the IIGS isn't frozen.

I hope to hear from Andrew, Scott, and others trying MacIP.  Eventually I
hope to buy a LanceGS card and try the ethernet layer with my SysLink
router.
