[Macpartners] iChat client issues

[Stephani Roberts Lincoln]

Hi,

We're using iChat and AIM for speedy messaging within my project 
group, and for the most part it's working out very well. However, 
I've had a strange problem with my mac. When I step away from my 
machine for more than say 10 minutes the app logs me in and out. This 
is annoying to my "buddies" as they're prompted each time I log in 
and out...looks like that's anywhere from 2 times a minute to every 3 
- 20 minutes. This is log of my activity sent from a PC Buddy below.

My energy saver settings are set to put the computer to sleep when 
it's inactive for ~12 minutes. My screen saver is set to start in 25 
minutes.

If anyone has any ideas on how to solve this issue. Please let me 
know. It's extremely inconvenient for me to quit the app every time I 
walk away from my machine.

Thanks,
Steph
