John,

You are misinterpreting what was said. A while ago, we checked with a number 
of
node operators, and found that a 'keep alive' ability was no longer an 
issue. Before that,
keeping a connection alive was seen as bad practice.

Since version 7.02, DX4WIN has a keep alive feature  (not well documented):

In the dx4win.tcp file, add a vertical bar at the end of the line followed 
by an integer.
The integer field is the number of minutes set for the timer. When the user 
types
a character in the packet window, the timer is reset to start over again.

 From the dx4win.tcp file, the following entry:
25 spots OH2AQ,http://oh2aq.kolumbus.com/dxs/dx25.html?|3

This download the last 25 spots every 3 minutes.
Same field can be added to telnet addresses.
