Not too sure what you mean.
If you mean you're telneted onto a machine and it logs you out with
a message like "auto-logout" then you can unset the auto-logout environment
setting or set it to a higher value.
If you mean you're going through a masqueraded connection (as seems
to be fairly common these days) and your sessions are timing out, you
can adjust the timeouts. How you do this depends on what you're using
to do the masquerading, with ipchains you use the -M and -S flags.
If you're talking about something different some more info about the
situation would help.
