Telnet must remain 'active' or the connection closes.  This is why I use
DESQview instead of MSWindows.  (Even the 386 version of MSWindows will
usually not allow telnet to stay active in a background window because it
is not a 'true', or pre-emptive multi-tasking environment like DESQview.)
You can run MSWindows in a DESQview window if you really need to (such as
running a specific MSWindows application like Excel).
