Timeout on my board is 3 minutes ... has been since 1993.  Why would I want 
someone to just tie up one of my 4 telnet nodes just sitting there all day.  
Are all 4 nodes going to be filled at one time in 2023, probably not.  But 
still, I don't want to come home to see some fool that has respect for other 
people's stuff to just "sit there and leave".  If that was the case, there 
would be no /G goodbye cmds.  

Not like it's hard to telnet back in within seconds and get back on.  Not like
you'll have to wait for a modem to negoiate or get a busy signal anymore.

I just don't understand people.  You're not only wasting MY resources by 
idling there, but also yours.  Granted it's a tiny amount, but still a waste 
on resources and bandwidth.
