Re: Inactive Telnet Session Timeout

[David & Eileen Keck <bstars@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks all.  Setting Mocha's keep-alive did the trick.  Too bad their help
text makes no reference to it.  Mocha is at version 7.7 now.
Today an IBM tech told me that given my TCP and Telnet settings, the
disconnects were not originating from the AS/400, and that my cable router /
firewall (a Linksys BEFSR41) was probably detecting and acting on my
inactive telent sessions.  He also informed me that while the telnet server
listens on port 23, telnet clients listen on the next available port in a
range of ports, making a packet forwarding solution problematic as well as
needless (given the keep-alive !).
