Bill, As I said in my previous message to Ed, I no longer have an issue or
problem with disconnects since running Tardis, which I've been using nearly 18
months now. I was just trying to help others that may be having disconnect
problems with an option that worked well for me. It not only keeps my PC clocks
accurate, but keeps me connected to my telnet node in addition. My system is up
24/7 and I have been connected for as long as 46 days at one point, before my
system resources dictated a reboot here. I'm quite content with that!
