Yes it was a good question, and my connections timeout faster than before. I don't think you can do something like that with ipfw. But I might be wrong, Perhaps, you can find a telnet client that suits your needs. BTW I think an overall TCP connection timeout set to 10 seconds is a good idea. But then again you might have problems with overloaded sites. That would be very rare, though. Cheers, NikV On Wednesday 14 April 2004 20:55, Holtor wrote: > Nikos, > > Thank you so much!
