[SLUG] TCP keepalives

[Howard Lowndes <lannet@nospam.lannet.com.au>]

Does anyone know whether Linux TCP stacks use keepalives.  If not how can
I get to use them.  I seem to have a problem with one end of a telnet
session dying and the other end not knowing that it has died, it still
shows as ESTABLISHED, or sometimes as CLOSED, in a netstat -a listing.
