I changed to James' preferences on Friday for the
Empire game machine.  It turns out that I could not
stay logged on for more than 5 minutes and in most
cases not more than 1 minute.  Sometimes I could
not even complete the HELLO command.

Will try Donna's version today.

In other developments:

I had erronously reported the disconnects after switching
to the latest version of QCTerm.  So now I'm also looking
for other causes.  One of those things could possibly be:

That the Empire game machine has been for a while a
personal honeypot.

I had moved the machine from behind a firewall to outside
the firewall.  This was also about the same time I loaded
QCTerm 95a, so I may have got my causes mixed up.  I'm
beginning to think the former firewall helped maintain
connectivity, but how it does it, I'm not sure... do
firewalls emit "keep-alive" packets?
