   Thanks for following up!   
      
   There is a thing built into MIS where it will kill any "external" connection   
   after 24 hours and it was accidentally killing external connections after 24   
   minutes instead (lol).   
      
   Its possible to use Mystic as a shell for other connection types (modem,   
   packet radio, etc) so MIS has a "watchdog" like function to clean up any nodes   
   that might have got stuck, so if it saw a node open for 24 hours it was   
   intended that it would shut it down.  Mystic considers local connections to be   
   "external" since so that watchdog rule is applied to the node when you login   
   with ./mystic -l   
      
   I've now changed how it works so that if it sees no activity for 4 hours it   
   will shutdown an external node.  I will probably end up removing this feature   
   entirely or making an exception so that it won't ever shut down a local mode   
   node (probably the latter will be the next change).   
      
   I'm still sort of thinking through what the best approach is or if this   
   feature should be removed entirely.
