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...
