TIMEOUT=io specify the generic timeout caused when no data tranmission
is done via DeleGate in the period.  Thus when relaying between
a client and a server, it timeouts when no transmission is done
from both sides. 

 |I need to make

 |data.  Is this possible?

Since most of application protocols relayed by DeleGate are of
"question/answer" or "request/response" type, simple TIMEOUT=io like
above has been sufficient for use.
But I suppose some kind of symmetric protocols, Telnet for example,
might have to be controlled as you requested.  So I made a tentative
extension to cause timeout when either client or server is silent for
specified period by TIMEOUT=silent.  Two files were modified like
enclosed patch, and it is applicable only to SERVER=tcprelay.

Cheers,
Yutaka
