[olug] Network connections being killed

Our connections to our Avaya AES boxes keep dying at one hour of inactivity
(such as when a person is at lunch). Avaya support says their software
shouldn't be killing the connection, but it is happening consistently, and
it looks like the connection is being killed by the AES server itself. I
wondered if it could be something on the OS level.

I've been tracing the network traffic with Wireshark and TSAPI Spy, and
we've been checking firewall logs, etc. So far we haven't been able to come
up with anything.
