Subj : console.inkey() timeout on slow connections

Hi all -

I have a login matrix script that I've written in JavaScript, where I use
console.inkey() to get a keypress from the user with an input timeout.  I'm
using a timeout of 60000ms (so, it should time out after 60 seconds).  It works
fine with a fast internet connection, but I've noticed that if I log into my
BBS from a computer with a fairly slow connection (i.e., satellite internet
connection with a fairly slow upload rate), it times out immediately. Is there
a workaround for this?
