    Can anything be displayed onto the shell during that time (mail
    notifications? Alerts? ..)

    My understanding is that those numbers are only true for idle
    connections. If actual data is trying to be delivered, it may timeout
    more quickly.

    I haven't looked at this in a *long* time, but I used to have a system
    on the other end of dialup that I wanted to maintain the connections
    overnight with the down modem. Some of those timeout settings weren't
    present back then.
