It takes about 10-15 minutes fr the connection to drop.  This seems to
be most prevalent with Internet connections.  If you are at the console
and notice the user struggling you can simply disconnect them and they
will be able to log back in.  Another option is to do what some of my
users do and login with an ssid.  Spider treats this as a different user
so they will need to set their detaisl etc but it works for a short
period until they can log back in under their own call again.
I hope this helps.
