Nikos, Thank you so much! The value is not in seconds but in milliseconds (wierd?). I set it to 10000 ms which gave me a 10 second timeout however this is system-wide and I dont want to break things. Does anyone know how to do it for just this specific telnet session? Perhaps there's a keepinit rule in ipfw. Any ideas?
