Well, Nina Jones supplied the PTF's, so i assume you have that.  Here's an
excerpt from the cover letter:

   Telnet will now override the TCP protocol connection retry
   timeout when connections are lost to the Telnet client.
   Telnet will recognize the connection being lost if TCP has not
   received an acknowledgment to the DO TIMEMARK, the next time
   TIMEMARK activity for that connection is checked.
 
   Telnet recommends setting TIMMRKTIMO greater than or equal
   to 40 seconds.  The quickest dead client detection is obtained
   using a value of 40.  If TIMMRKTIMO is set to 0, TIMEMARK
   detection is turned off.  If TIMMRKTIMO is set less than or
   equal to 240 seconds, then Telnet Server, CPU and network
   traffic may be greater than the *NOTIMEMARK case.

What details are you looking for?
