I have a similar problem with my FastPath. Our Sequent has the unfortunate
IP address of 128.1.230.0. Its the "0" that gets us. Apparently the Telnet
software on the Mac thinks were broadcasting and won't. When you try to telnet
you get the connect error and an error that flashes quicky at the top right of
the screen "can't broadcast on subnet". I don't know if this is proper behavior 
or not. But it seems that my only solution is to not use any bytes of the IP
address as all 0.
