#53 Version 1.2a locks up with BBSs that do not respond

[Anonymous]

There apears to be a regression with the latest Win32 build of 1.2a (Tue Apr 27 2021 07:03:48). When one connects to a BBS that is not responding (e.g., when someone else is connected to the BBS), Syncterm will remain in the "Connecting..." screen (see attached image). There is no way to get out of this screen other than stop the application in the Windows task manager. In previous versions of Syncterm, the user can press any key to abort the connection or Syncterm will eventually time out.

Thank you for fixing this bug!

SycnTermin also freezes for several minutes if you just hang up via the Alt-Z menu (if the other side hangs up it works fine).

Fixed in git. Thanks for the report.
