Irwin,
If you telnet to an AR-Cluster node, the sysop has an option of activating a
10-minute activity timer. DXbase, which I understand is not the program you
are using, does have an activity timer for telnet that can be set to a
number of minutes specified by the user. DX Telnet, which can be used to
feed spots into any of the programs, has an activity timer too, so that be
the answer to your problem. It's at http://www.qsl.net/wd4ngb/telnet.htm

Subject: [WriteLog] Internet Time out
While accessing the Internet for Dx spots, my internet provider (Prodigy)
will time me out if I show no activity for 30 minutes. I have even set my
Outlook Mail software to check for email every 5 minutes. I still get timed
out. Does anyone know of a program that will work with Writelog and DX4WIN
and keep my on-line account open by sending a carriage return, etc.
I have a dial up connection with very good connect speed and would like to
avoid the cost of cable on-line if possible.
Thanks, Irwin KD3TB
