Using a modified packet driver and windows in enhanced mode, it is possible
to run telnet in the background WITHOUT loosing connections.  You must
set detect idle time off and Lock application memory on.  We have tested
telnet in the background for 72 hours without losing a connection.  Durring
the test we ran all sorts of windows and dos applications (including
formating a disk) and never lost the connection.  Durring the test we
had a unix host ping the telnet client and record the results.  Telnet
did drop some of the ping packets, but not more than 20 percent.
