All,
We am currently in the process of implementing a simh based emulator for
the Multics CPU (https://sourceforge.net/projects/dps8m/). We've got it
set up so we can telnet into the OS using the SIMH "Telnet terminal
multiplexer library," but are having problems when connections are lost
not freeing up lines, etc. I need to be able to detect when a telnet
connection is dropped, not closed normally.
Why do you care if it is "dropped" as opposed to "closed"? From a telnet
point of view, there is no difference.
And from a simulated computers point of view, the terminal is
disconnected. You just a way to translate such closed telnet session
into a disconnected terminal.
Any thoughts on how to detect a dropped telnet connection?
In the telnet (or TCP/IP) works, there is no such thing as a "dropped"
connection. It is closed, for one reason or another. And that is it.
Or could you be more specific what you are looking for?
