Hi Gang,
I've been reading the posts on telnet issues, and have one of my own to post.
I too have an intermittent problem with DX4WIN dropping my telnet connection.
To try to ascertain if the problem was one of DX4WIN dropping the connection,
I started using AR USER, a cluster program from VE7CC.
This program allows me to connect to the cluster and use a local telnet
loopback
port as DX4WIN's connection to the cluster. I.E., I connect to the cluster
with AR USER,
and connect to AR USER from DX4WIN.
I have noticed that DX4WIN drops me from AR USER at times, even though AR USER
is still connected to the cluster. The connection to AR USER is within my
own computer,
so lan connection problems, modem connection problems etc., are taken out
of the possible
cause loop. I don't have any suggestions as to why this is happening, so
therefore, no comments
on how to correct this behavior. There doesn't seem to any pattern to this
behavior at all.
BTW, AR USER is a great cluster program, with a lot of neat features for
easily setting up
cluster parameters, auto re-connect, etc.. You can download it at
