[lug] Idle connections on Mandrake (Resolved I believe)

[Atkinson, Chip]

Greetings,

Thanks everyone for your help.  It turns out that it's not the software at
all, but the bios had a sleep setting.  The machine would go to sleep and
lose the connection.  I changed the bios setting and the timeouts seem to
have disappeared.  Yay.

Thanks again.

Chip
