[Dx4win] disconnect fix

[n3drk]

Ok Don,
     that is the downside of the VE7CC packet cluster program. It will not
go into your dx4win logbook and highlight in the 9 or so colors to make you
aware it is a new country you need to work, or a new band, or a new mode. I
am going to stick with the present DX4WIN packet cluster even though it may
disconnect. At least it will go into my logbook and scout for the ones I
need for 5BDXCC and DXCC Honor Roll.
     I emailed Paul Vander about this problem and have not heard a thing.
Guess he just doesnt want to spend the time and resources to find a
solution. Someone told me Paul emailed him and said it was not the problem
of the logging program but one of ISP. Dont know if that is true or not but
other packet cluster programs have an automatic reconnect and the ones I am
referring to are mIRC and DXTELNET.
