I'm using a Telnet connection via a Cable Modem and have no problems at all with dropouts or timeouts. I'm not using a router or anything like that, just a Motorola Cable Modem connected to a Gateway 700S computer using Windows XP and DX4win 5.03. So far it's all working fine. So your problem must be related to the Linksys router. Just saying it may be something you should look it. 73 de John/KC9JS Twin Lakes, WI ************************************* ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kurt W.
