 EW> I've toggled the "No Timeout" setting for my account (Mystic v1.12 A45

The No timeout flag disables the inactivity timeout (not time per day) but
there are some many possiblities as to why you might be getting disconnected,
anything from a bug to running out of time, to your ISP/router killing open
sockets because you're idle and it thinks they're stale (ie you would need a
telnet client if connected via telnet that sends NOOP to stay connected)...

If you are connected via ./mystic -l and it happens, that seems to point to
something else not client/router related.  If you ran out of time (ie minutes
per day) or were removed from inactivity, then it should have printed a message 
or logged you out as you noted.

I don't really have a good explaination for you at the moment to be honest.

... Help! I can't find the "ANY" key.
