NCSA Telnet must remain in constant contact with the host.  Hosts
typically send a "keepalive" packet every 45 seconds and they give
up on you after 3 to 10 minutes.

So if you have a screen-saver which takes over the CPU and does not
give control back to the application, this problem is unavoidable.
I have been told that Pyro is fixed.  I use Moire 2.1 which does not
have this problem.
