[ENet-discuss] ENet - desconnection in 30 seconds after connection.

[Вячеслав Блинников]

That is strange because previous advice helped me - everything what
was needed is to call "enet_host_service()" in separate thread (I
tried to call it between "getchar()" calls but there still was
disconnections).
But I definetly feel some lags. Sometimes lags are obvious but
sometimes it looks like there are no of them - I think it's depends on
when how close to "enet_host_service()"'s time interval
"enet_peer_send()" will be called.
