   IT is not for the one remotely logged in user but to allow for other to also    
   log in where the   
   system cannot copy with much more than one at a time.   
      
   For example my system has a limit of 5 users at any one time but that also    
   allows for a similar   
   number that can be polling the mailer and a few via the web interface.   
      
      
   Here the limit is my upload speed which is only 17 - 20 Mb.   
      
   Now I know this is higher than many systems have but it still requires some    
   limits as I have other   
   systems that do still require a connection to my systems outside the BBS.   
      
   And yes my BBS limits is around 1440 minutes which should be more than enough    
   for any one but at   
   least if some one has fallen asleep at the terminal my system will log them    
   out.   
      
   My mainframe login ins is one hour with a no activity of 30 minutes again to    
   help control   
   resources as some will login use the system for a few minutes then go to lunch    
   for a hour or more.   
      
   OR on old money if a boss was walking through an empty office and see's    
   terminals/ screens   
   connected they will asssume the employee is around and even more so if there    
   jacket is over the   
   chair.   
   This limit kind of put the kibosh on such behaviour.
