Hello Tom and list, Generally the brief connection followed by the "Goodbye OM..etc" occurs here if I have previously lost the connection and try to re-connect before the cluster has cleared my previous connection. In these cases I have always then been able to re-connect and stay connected. BTW all across the internet, and not just telnet DX cluster, connections come and go seemingly magically. I have found though that since switching to cable modem "always on" service I rarely get disconnected now....
