Two things come to mind:
1- Firewall: some (most?) firwalls have options for dropping idle TCP
connections. Since by default telnet doesn't use any keepalive, that
may be the problem here. It need not be a real firewall; could be a
firewall config in iptables on one of your boxes.
2- the remote box auto-logging you out.
Hope this helps
