getting idle timed out
 
Hi,

I know my mud is not kicking me out when I idle, so Cmud is doing it. How do I fix it?

CMud doesn't, but it is common that a router in your connection path will drop the connection when it is idle too long. A common way to deal with this is to send a small amount of data periodically. One of the best things to send is some telnet protocol data; as it doesn't cause any display change and the right code will be totally ignored.
Code:
#ALARM {-120} {#SENDP {%char(255)%char(241)}}
This creates an alarm that will activate every 2 minutes while you are online, and is sending the No Operation code to the mud.
