As a user of both the DXbase telnet and packet windows I agree that both 
should be
kept.

As an aside - there is an apparent problem in DXbase's telnet client which 
was discussed
and confirmed several months ago in this list.  The problem manifests 
itself if the telnet session is
disconnected either by some network problem or disconnecting the telnet 
session in the DXbase
telnet window.

If this happens you will see your computer's CPU usage become 100% in the 
Windows Task Manager.  You will also probably see a performance degradation 
in other programs that might be running on your system due to the 100% CPU 
utilization.   Other telnet clients that I tested other than DXbase's don't 
induce the problem.

I'm running DXbase 2001 and I think this problem was confirmed by others 
with later versions.

I'd like to see this problem resolved in future DXbase versions as the 
telnet client will see more
and more usage with the proliferation of broadband cluster connections.  It 
shouldn't consume 100% of a system's CPU resource if a telnet session 
disconnect occurs.
