[Dx4win] DX4WIN and Keep-Alive (telnet)

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

Should I make "keep-alive" the default for all Telnet 
connections?  This means adding "|3" to the end of each line, as 
shown in this example:

         N5IN-2>Thief River Falls-MN,dxspots.net|3
         VE7CC-1>Maple Ridge-BC,dxc.ve7cc.net|3

Please reply privately, and if there's enough interest, I'll do this 
in the next release.  It's a trivial change to the code.
