Ran an experiment, to see what would happen if I ramped up the keepalive to one minute general, and 30 seconds specific to Telnet. Worked beautifully, with no ill effects.

Timed a connection to the customer's box crapping out. Consistent 15 3/4 minutes, give or take my reaction time on the stopwatch.

Gave the customer my findings, and the suggestion that they ramp up the keepalive to 10 minutes/600 seconds. They said it would "cause too much network traffic since it will always try to ping every 10 minutes."

They evidently don't seem to understand the difference between a keepalive probe and a ping.

<rolleyes> oy, vey.
