Timeout Value in 4.3.3

[starky5]

At one of our mills we use wireless hand-held scanners to run a telnet session on a 4.3.3 server. The scanner communicates with the server via an access point that is located on the ceiling of the mill. The scanners will periodically lose their connection and we think it may be caused by an overhead crane that passes by. Is there a way to increase a value(s) on the server so the session won't drop if it loses connection for a little while.

Thanks in advance,
Greg

I believe the variable is TMOUT and it is set in milliseconds. I think. I have mine unset so it doesn't appear in `env`. IBM Certified -- AIX 4.3 Obfuscation

Another possible option is the use of gnu screen, which breaks the traditional binding of an interactive process with a tty. gnu screen is available from bull.
