Using NCSA Telnet with a Apple LocalTalkPC card and running it in a window, the
connection dies after 10 minutes or so that the Telnet window is inactive.  I 
have the Telnet window in exclusive mode, but letting it run in the background
doesn't seem to help.  Anyone have any ideas of how to go around it?  I don't
like going around all my active windows every 5 minutes and refreshing them 
manually... Thanks for any hints.
