/* Written 5:10 pm Mar 15, 1989 by raymond@io in comp.sys.mac */ /* ---------- "problem with NCSA telnet and flex i" ---------- */ We found that when flex cut in and blank the screen while the m/c is connected to other hosts through telnet, the connections will be lost, ie. the hosts will not reponse, afterwards. We must then exit telnet and reopen the connections. Right now we avoid this by turning off flex. Any expert there can suggest a solution so that we can still blank the screen and yet have the connections online? Please mail your reply besides posting. Thanks a thou. Just call me `Man'. raymond@jupiter.ame.arizona.edu /* End of text from comp.sys.mac */ 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. Tim Krauskopf NCSA
