    What happens when you start typing? Are the characters not appearing on the screen when you type?

    This sounds like a fixed short-lived bug in v3.20a (in development) in the parsing of ctrl/main.ini.

    Have you not updated since March 20?

    If you are current, then just increase the maximum inactivity value in SCFG->Servers->Terminal->Max Login Inactivity.

    If you're connecting to a Telnet port (instead of the PETSCII-80 port, e.g. TCP port 64), then you might be subjected to the "dumb terminal" (robot) detection login in exec/login.js which reduces the inactivity timeout to the inactive_hangup value set in modopts.ini:

    Increasing that value would eliviate that situation (or just connect to the PETSCII port instead).
