 How or when do you get TFW complaining about telnet not being
 available?  I have not gotten this kind of error message.  I do not use
 AOL.  I use a local internet provider.
 I do have a problem with TFW locking up (or not responding) if I launch
 TFW before logging to my ISP.
 What would happen if you waited to launch TFW until you were connected
 to AOL?  Would this stop TFW from complaining about telnet not being
 available?
