I have come across this same situation. As far as my experience, research, and asking of this group
is concerned, the answer is "no".

My suggestion would be to look into Nortel Extranet Contivity Switch products. Features:

IPsec
PPTP
Time outs of 23 hours 59 minutes.
Ability of users to change their own passphrases.
Password aging.
Authentication:
        User base
                Using pass phrases of at least 16 chars.
        Radius
        Entrust Certificates
        Ldap

Secure Remote as a product is a nice freebie from Checkpoint, but it has some severe limitations,  one of them
being this tcp time out issue.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
I have called CP Support and also searched the Phonyboy FAQ's, but nothing.
CP Support told me to increase the TCP Session Timeout. Which has a max
setting of 6500 seconds ( ~2 hours) which is not long enough for our needs.

We have our user LAN behind the FW. Some of our developers on this LAN, need
to have telnet/ssh connections
to some servers (outside the FW), While these connections are open, they run
some jobs, which can last anywhere
from minutes to many hours. In the case of a job lasting say 4-5 hours, this
would not be long enough, since the FW
will drop the TCP Session when it is not active.

Is/are there any workarounds fixes to this problem? Any advise would be
great.
