I'm not being silly. The only users of the IPMasq gateway are myself, and my
Wife. I am the management, and load is minimal. I'd rather a permanent
connection than have it drop out due to inactivity when I may be in the middle
of running a process, or writing some code.

If there's no way, then that's fine, I'll just make the timeout huge. I was
just curious if there WAS a way, be it with IPMasq config, or Telnet config, to
keep a connection live.
