- This is the problem that first motivated my posting. (I shouldn't have assumed
- that others would know the symptoms I saw, and should have spelt them out).
- The problems began for me last week and have gone this week -- no dropping of
- the telnet session over 12-14 hours, whereas last week I'd have one drop out
- per 5-10 minutes.
