This disconnect and the repeated " keep Alive Message Sent " has been a
pain in the butt for years and I agree with Paul -- it would be nice to be
able to go out and cut the grass in the middle of the afternoon -- come back
in and check what has been there and what is still there and try to work
some serious DX before the " Boss " draws to your attention the mowing the
grass was/is not the only chore that needs to be done before the next meal
is served...
If I remember correctly - going back to DOS and a modem -- you told it
not to allow to disconnect and all was well - if a disconnect did happen it
tried until the cows came home to re-connect you... " It Would Be Nice ""
