Hello,
while trying the script language for connections through
several tcp hosts, isdn dialup devices, etc. i have the
following problem:
Is it possible to drop an expensive connection if the user
(or the line) is idle for n seconds? I am looking for
a command like "set connect idle-timeout 600". The connections
are used for terminal I/O only (no filetransfers).
I've found nothing in the german translated Kermit Book
from Heise, the english version is ordered, but the bookstore
told me to wait several weeks for the book to arrive.
My Kermit is a "C-Kermit 6.0.192, 6 Sep 96".
