Thanks to all who responded. Sun-managers can't be beat for a quick informed response.
Two best solutions appear to be:
tcsh - csh super shell with timeout feature. ftp.ee.cornell.edu/pub/tcsh
idled - idle connection monitor. ftp.cs.hope.edu/pub/idled
tcsh will not fit my solution since I am married to ksh, so I will investigate idled.
Thanks again,
