OBD-II connected all the time?

I was talking to a vendor about my project and they stated that their ODB-II cable is not meant for "permanently connecting" a car PC to the OBD-II port.

I can see the point regarding the whole baud change negotiation thing at initial but...

Is the vendor just being overly cautious or is there a type of cable that is meant for permanent connection? Some kind of a buffered assembly that keeps the conversation with the ECU/PCM "clean" for the PC?

I'm working with a Jeep Cherokee (ISO9141-2) and freediag/scantool.

TIA
