Bill,
I certainly don't know the answer to your questions. What I do know,
however, that it is a nuisance to having to keep logging back into Telnet. I
find
that if I am actively logging with WL in a contest, my Telnet connection
generally does not disconnect. However, if my logging becomes inactive for some
(unknown) period of time, the site will disconnect.
I too would like to know if there is a way to keep the Telnet spots from
disconnecting.
Is there a timeout feature associated with each telnet site and, if so, can
it be defeated or set to a longer period of time, say 2 hours or so?
Is the disconnect timeout the same for each site, or is it site specific?
Is there a way for WL to keep the site from disconnecting?
Perhaps some kind soul who understands these timeout/disconnect issues can
enlighten us all.
Tnx in advance,
73, Geo...
