5) Corrected the logon string's Version content so we should quit getting the "adjunct HH:MM Missing filter keyword" complaint at login (most of you have probably never noticed anyway).
This would have been noticed as the server "going dumb". If the server's filter is not set properly, then all you will receive is keep-alive comment lines. I highly recommend that you go back to considering the keep-alive comment lines as confirmation that the server is there and functional.
If you are concerned about if the login was handled correctly, the logresp comment line that is sent after the login contains confirmation of the login, whether it is verified or not, if the filter was set properly, and what server you logged into.
The keep-alives are generated after 20 seconds of inactivity on the port -from- the server which is every 20 seconds if you don't set a filter and no one sends you a message. If you do your reads as ReadLine with receivetimeout set to 30000, you shouldn't have any hang issues on reading (be sure to encapsulate in try/catch code looking for any exception). If there is an error, close the connection and try to reconnect.
