I'm using a TIdTCPServer component in an application to accept connections
from a client.  If the client does not disconnect cleanly, the TCP
connection remains established and does not appear to timeout.

When the number of connections reaches the maximum allowed by the
TIdTCPServer (48), it quite rightly rejects all other attempts to reconnect.

Two questions:

1.  What controls the TCP timeout period?
2.  What is the best way of the TCP Server detecting failed connections in
this way?

Thanks

Andrew
