Java Telnet

[Alejandro Garza Gonzalez]

I think that it depends on the end system (opac); for example, innopac 
telnet connections time out after a certain period and the user  gets 
automatically logged out.

As to your mentioning that Dynix cautions that 'data damage may occur' 
would be wildly irresponsible on their part, because most telnet 
connections may be terminated instantly either because a user wanted to, 
by switching off or resetting a workstation, because of a modem hanging 
up, an ISP losing its connection, etc...
