While I agree that I'd like to have an easier way to connect (and would like to have it connect automatically, if so desired), what I do now is I use Autohotkey (http://www.autohotkey.com/) to automate starting DX4WIN. It starts it, connects the packet cluster, and even runs some additional programs that I have running when I'm operating. Although you can do some very sophisticated things with AHK, starting a program and other basic things are quite simple.

I run two connections to AR Cluster (VE7CC) on my radio computer. One is 
through DX4WIN, the second, directly using the AR software.

The DX4WIN connection drops at random times, anywhere from 3 - 12 hours, while 
I seldom lose the direct AR connect. It can run for days without dropping.

What I don't like about the DX4WIN connection process, it takes up to 6 - 8 
mouse and keyboard strokes to complete it. Maybe Paul can improve the process 
to 2 - 3 strokes in the future?

Yes Duane, actually I have and get the same issue. That is why I am thinking
it is not a DX4WIN issue or maybe not an AR Cluster issue. Was hoping
someone might have experienced this before I run into the woods on my own so
to speak.
