Hello, I was just curious as to why telnet connections to my FreeBSD
2.2.5-stable box are closing after a certain amount of idle time.  Is there
some sort of idle limit that I can specify?  It seems to be after 600
seconds or so.  It happens with any telnet client I use, and to friends.  I
should mention that it is not an instant event, after idling I go back to
my telnet connection, start typing, and no characters appear then i'm
disconnected.  Thanks for the help.
