TimeOut directive TimeOut directiveNormally, 30 seconds is plenty, however, if the server or any clients are on an extremely slow SLIP or PPP link, you may need to increase this. If the server and clients are on a private high-speed net, you can reduce the timeout so that the server will quickly drop a connection that was canceled mid-stream by a client. This will slightly increase the capacity of the server.
