    the keepalive (above) to 60 seconds so it will refresh the clock in
    my menus. Most of my menus have the date & time in them s
    o the keepalive refreshes that every minute. That will con
    tinue till the Inactivity timeoutfrom the General Settings i
    s reached then it will put up a timeout messageand an OK pro
    mpt to continue. The only other way out is to 'hangup' using
    generally the Alt-X hang up command from the terminal software if the menu
    is hung. Otherwise the menu is active and you can do whatev
    er till the Inactivity timeout is reached. Due to constant
    attacks on the BBS portsyou want some type of timeout or yo
    ur connections will fill up and no one will be able to get
    in. g00r00's ghost node software will kill most hangs in
    time after the timeout is reached (can also be done manually).
