Let me tell you about this experience I have with this and if someone could please explain it.
I usually telnet into my mini-lab and open a session for each router and switch. I also have the "exec-timeout 0 0" command for the vty interfaces. So at night when I go to bed ... I put my W2K machine into hibernate mode while leaving all the telnet sessions open. So technically, the ethernet interface goes down for the, and the routers/switch still have an open session. The next day I will power up the computer and carry on as if nothing has happened. The connection is still live, the router doesn't force me to login again, etc. I understand the exec-timeout 0 0 means the the connection should not timeout, but if the 'session' is lost when my computer is powered of, shouldn't the router be clever enough to realise that that session is not active, since this is through the network? I understand there is no CD facility since it is vty and not tty. That's a good way I guess to teach people about 'uncleared sessions" for BCRAN and how to use the "clear line vty x" command!
