Hi,
 
Making use of the commons.net.telnet.TelnetClient, we've set up a connection 
with a Telnet Daemon.
It works fine to send a message to the Telnet Daemon by using an OutputStream 
and receive a response by using a BufferedReader.
The SoTimeout was set to 15 seconds.
 
But if we haven't send/received anything for appr. 20 seconds the next first 
message is send to the Outputstream, but the BufferedReader.read() immediately 
throws a SocketTimeOutException!
A retry 'read()' to the same instance of the BufferredReader succeeds (without 
setting up a new connection).
 
Strange enough this does not happen if the Telnet Communication 'sleeps' for 
less than 10 seconds, but only if no communication has been there for longer 
than 20 seconds.
 
We receive the following stacktrace:
Stacktrace {
        java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

}

Does anybody have a clue in which direction to look for a solution?
 
Thanks,
