telnet issue

[EA3GCV]

Hi all,

First of all it's very important you connect only to one or maximum 2 Telnet servers. When you are connected to more than 2 servers, other servers will disconnect you automatically. Keep in mind that all servers share most information and "they" know if you are already connected to other servers, disconnecting you if they detect you are already connected to others.

Autoreconnect is a desired feature. Seems some Telnet servers disconnect users after a short time or after many hours. There is no logic on this. I connect to EA4URE-5 and I have very few reconnections. I have tested with N6WS-6 and HB9DRV-9 and I get many reconnections. It all depends on the server not Swisslog. The Telnet code is the same since years ago, no change! I have found this info from N1MM users which complain about this random issue:

But practically speaking, user don't have to worry about reconnections. I have tested during hours and even after many reconnections the connection status is Connected and spots are populating properly. I use EA4URE-5 and I also have some reconnections sometimes but the connection is kept ON and receiving spots during all the session.

If you experience reconnection issues, change to another Telnet server. You won't miss out spots for connecting to another server. All of them share practically the same info.
