The first thing that comes to mind is that that the TMOUT variable is set.
This limits the number of seconds you can remain idle at the command line prompt
after which you be deconnected.
I suggest you try 'echo $TMOUT' on your machine. If the variable is set,
you'll see the number of seconds you can stay idle. Then, you can edit
your .bash_profile or /etc/profile to change the setting or deactivate it.

PS: A timeout setting isn't as bad as it sounds. It's the first thing I
add to the root account of all the servers I install (with a 4 minutes
deadline).
PPS: Use ssh, not telnet!
