I just ran E-Tesla6 with your 18.78mH input:
C=23.29pF    F=240.65 kHz

Pretty close to Javatc and well within the margin of error against measured 
to programs values for both programs. Is it possible you may be using the 
old version 6.12? The current version is 6.13C. To check it, I've 
copy/paste the output.txt file from my run with E-Tesla6 for reference. If 
you see an input disagreement, that may also explain your numbers.

Take care,
Bart
