When logging into one of our machines (A Pentium using RH4.1) using
multiple telnet sessions (we like lots of open windows around here), how
can I set or disable the amount of time the telnet/login/getty process
waits with no activity on the connection before logging me out?

I would use a version of login that does timeouts, then pass that to
in.telnetd (in /etc/inetd.conf) with the -L option instead of
/bin/login. in.telnetd cleans up dropped connections OK, but I gather
that idle connections are your actual worry.
