[Simh] How to detect telnet disconnection.

[Harry Reed]

All,

We am currently in the process of implementing a simh based emulator for 
the Multics CPU (https://sourceforge.net/projects/dps8m/). We've got it 
set up so we can telnet into the OS using the SIMH "Telnet terminal 
multiplexer library," but are having problems when connections are lost 
not freeing up lines, etc. I need to be able to detect when a telnet 
connection is dropped, not closed normally.

Any thoughts on how to detect a dropped telnet connection?

Regards,
Harry Reed
