 The Timeout field sets a time threshold for users on ports whose Share
Mode has been set to Occupy (see Occupy:, page 64). If there is no activity
from the user occupying the port for the amount of time set here, the user
is timed out and the port is released. The first user to send keyboard or
mouse input after the port has been released gets to occupy the port.
Input a value from 0 to 255 seconds. The default is 3 seconds. A setting of
0 causes the port to be released the instant there is no input.
