I'm having a problem with telnet. If I execute a long running command that 
doesn't output anything (like a while loop moving lots of files) then quite 
often I eventually lose the connection. What's worse is that I don't realise 
that I've lost the connection until I press return (or Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Z) in 
the (rxvt) window.

You get similar behaviour if you set TMOUT, but I haven't.

Anyone know why it's happening, and if there is something I can do about it?

Keith
