	Hey, we (Southerners) rebelled once before.  Once burned twice shy....

	I don't think that a scan would kill a telnet client.  OTOH, if I were
the suspicious type....  I'm not, though.  For that, see Bob Toxen.

	Where are the client and server?  If the client is remote from you, you
may never know why it terminated.  If it's local, then you perhaps stand
a chance.

	In my case, when I'm working from home, and have ssh'd in to a
corporate server, and wait too long, the connection is killed.  I don't
know if that's default ssh/sshd behavior or if it's the firewall
enforcing some limit, but all I see is the disconnect when I type the
first character after being inactive past the deadline.
