I know this isn't going to be very helpful, but at my last job we ran
character sessions (telnet) to an OpenServer 5.0.6s box. We always had a low
level of disconnections which we mostly at sites using a WAN link - they were
reported to the user by the local telnet app popping up a notice that teh
connection was reset by the peer.
I alway put this down to a flaky bit of network programming, either in the
TCP stack or the telnet daemon - I always assumed that there was a network
error (dropped packet) or a delayed packet and some bit of the system simply
didn't handle it correctly.
