  33. It would be helpful if you said what kind of system the users
  34. are connected to.  Some operating systems (e.g., Stratus VOS)
  35. can do this sort of thing for you.
  36.  
  37. If your users are connecting to Unix systems, you might be able
  38. to use Mike Crider's "idled" program to cause dropping of idle
  39. connections:
