Question : Problem: telnet timeout setting

Can someone tell me if there is a setting to alter just the telnet timeout setting without affecting other kinds of logins? Like leaving SSH unnafected.

I've found the variable TMOUT, that I can set system wide, but I'm afraid it will affect the entire system and start to knock down the ssh users.

Thanks in advance!
