Masquerading - extending the timeout values

Hello! Is it possible to have a masquerading Linux system keep a TCP
connection alive for a longer period of time? I regularly telnet to
my home system and if I don't do anything for more than a few minutes,
it closes the connection... annoying!

Is this a kernel setting, or ipfwadm, or do I need to dig into the
kernel source (I've always wanted to do that!)

Thanks,
Mark
