Console time-out after inactivity

I'm running dynamips and I find that the IOS kicks me out of inactive telnet sessions and it is pretty annoying to have to start back from user mode. Anyone know what is the command to change the default inactive timer?

exec-timeout 0 0 will prevent your session from timing out

What mike said.

You may also find logging synchronous to relieve some other minor annoyance, but I'll leave that for you to figure out.

Also another to use is "no ip domain-lookup"

Thanks for all three suggestions, it will remove a lot of minor annoyance.
