[Dxbase] DXBase 2006 - staying connected to DSL

[Terry at k8smc.com]

A trick I used was to go back to Win98 and get the Telnet default 
program from there and put it in my WIN2K machines and now my XP Pro 
machines.  I just named it Old Telnet.  I haven't tried XP Pro but 
assume it wasn't any different than WIN2K's version, the 2K version 
was a looser and as you said, no echo.  The old one still works great 
and I've used it to make these kind of tests many times.
