Re: Inactive Telnet Session Timeout

What is the telnet client listening for?  It should build a socket
connection over port 23 and communicate over that.  True it uses an upper
port for the outgoing from it, but that shouldn't matter unless the telnet
server is making a new connection to the client which, again, I'm not sure
why it would do that.
