- This is probably not an NCSA Telnet problem. I have the same problem
- using LAT to get to a Sun. In fact, I connect to the Sun via LAT and
- immediately exec telnet. It's a LAT-telnet gateway allowing DEC terminal
- servers to get to telnet-speaking Unix boxes. Idle session to other Suns
- definately "go to sleep". I'll check idle sessions to other hosts.

- I also see this same behavior.
-
- If anyone can shed some light on what's going one here, I'd love to hear
- it!
