will removing "trap" solve telnet issues in SCO Unix

[tkrusely]

My customer base is primarily SCO Unixware 7.1.1, we have gotten complaints that telnet sessions will inadvertently lockup or throw them out of programs while telnet'd in. I had heard that removing the "trap" lines from their .profiles would help solve the problem but I wasn't sure what "trap" did so I was reluctant to try it possibly causing other problems.
These are the first two lines of the .profile file...

LANG=C export LANG #!@ Do not edit this line !@
trap "" 1 3 15

Can I safely remove trap and will it help resolve my issue?

Any help would be appreciated.
Tom

Signal 3 is tty quit. I would try leaving that one out before I abandon the entire line. Let me know if that helps. It is just a guess.
