Actually, my comments on the different timeouts between 1.09b and 1.2b
where wrong, I was apparently looking at the 1.08a source instead of
1.09b:(

There has been changes to the timeout handling but they both use the 3, 5,
12 approach, the difference between the versions is that 1.2b has a bug
in handling timeouts when not receiving any data. :)

Sean/Rob, it looks like Tracy found a bug in bbnet, this patch will fix
the problem:

 `So you can count up to ...?' Susan prompted.
