[WriteLog] DX clusters

[Bill K2OWR]

:::: I have noticed the same "oddity" in the Telnet connection. In fact, the 
only way I could find to close it in windows XP was to ctrl/alt/delete and 
use that method.

I use the VE7CC "cluster user" front-end:

    http://www.ve7cc.net

It has a built-in list of clusters you can reach via Telnet.  If the
connection crashes, then just have VE7CC re-connect (or connect to a
new node).  The connection between WriteLog and the VE7CC program will
NEVER go down.
