    From Acierno@VERT/CPMDEN to All on Sun Sep 3 17:05:32 2023
    Hey folks.
    I was hoping someone could help me out with what is probably a simple question When I log into my BBS that I am setting up using SyncTerm everything works great. WHen I try to log in using my vintage Kaypro usingKermit , everything is fine until I get to the Login prompt and then to goes straight to "You've been inactive too long." I would like For vintage computer users to be able to login also. I was able to get into other BBSs using the kaypro so I feel like I have a setting wrong somewhere.Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Check the terminal server log output, but I suspect the inactivity timeout is being shortened because it's a dumb terminal connection (usually used by bots). The setting that controls this behavior is in the [login] section of ctrl/modopts.ini
