Possible telnet timeout

I have customers that connect to a SCO OSR5 system through the Internet. To get in they pass through our Cisco 1600 and separate firewall. These customers loose their telnet sessions after 30 minutes. I am unable to find what is dropping the connection, the Unix box or the Cisco. I know it is not the firewall. Any direction you can provide would be great.
Thanks.

hi,

Is your web server on the UNIX box ,which one are you running ? check the keep alive parameter in the web servers config file to see what it is set to .
 
I have a separate system handling our Web servicing, so I don't think that would cause it unless I have something installed that is not being used.
 
While I don't use Cisco routers, my bet would be on the router as opposed to the SCO box. I do know that routers such as NetGear provide such a feature as to time-out sessions after a period of time. How are your clients logging into the SCO box? If you are using a VPN, perhaps there is a session limit there as well?
