    Yes, I think this is the problem, as it occurs only with connections
    having a high latency (such as ADSL). Is a timer really necessary?

If there is a chance that the terminal won't respond at all,
the timer would enable Enacs to avoid hanging.  Is that the
reason for the timer?

What is the purpose of making this query in the first place?
Maybe the best thing to do is get rid of it.
