Not really knowing much about the Linksys router, I would seem to think that you are experiencing a time out instead of loosing track of the telnet session. You should have some user-definable parameters in any router to allow you to change and/or configure timeouts.
I would not give up all hope on the Linksys router until it has been fully explored. Mind you, most of the folks on tech-support help desks don't always have the answers. I've found that out from personal experience. 73; Kurt - W2MW -----Original Message----- From: John Desmond [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 10:35 PM To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Dx4win] Telnet via Cable Modem Timeout Hi Alan, I just read your note today. I have had this same problem ever since going to a cable modem over a year ago. My telnet sessions would drop anywhere from 2 hours to 10 hours after they were set-up. The sessions were not just to DXClusters that had the problem. I use telnet to other systems such as routers and Linux machines. They all had the same problem. I have a Linksys router with the 4 port switch. In the past I have tried calling Linksys tech support and also have loaded every new version of code that was released, hoping that they might just fix it, even if it were inadvertent. Their support is just plain awful if not just plain pathetic. What proved to me that it was the Linksys was when I replaced it with a Cisco 806. The dropped sessions stopped. I have had sessions up for a week plus with no drops. It is pretty clear to me that the Linksys is loosing track of the telnet session somehow. The answer may not be that you need a Cisco router. I have never tried any of the other brands out there like D-Link, etc. They may not have this problem. 73, John K0TG Alan Clark wrote: > I have recently converted from a dial-up to an ISP to get my DX Spots to a > Cable Modem.
