What is the 'normal' behaviour for a rlogin (ssh) or telnet session
when one is logging into an ISP who assigns dynamic addresses and
the connection has an idle timer (inactivity) (that is, the connection is
dropped after a certain time period).

I have the problem that with FreeBSDs isdn (i4b) my rlogin (ssh)
sessions die (are rendered unusable - lock o' city) regularly when
the idle timer drops the connection. A subsequent awaking of the connection
results in a different IP address being assigned from the ISP.

Strangely Netscape does not suffer from this phenomenon.
