Andy,
" The session-timeout command behaves slightly differently on virtual (vty)
terminals than on physical console, auxiliary (aux), and terminal (tty)
lines. When a timeout occurs on a vty, the user session returns to the EXEC
prompt. When a timeout occurs on physical lines, the user session is logged
out and the line returned to the idle state.
You can use a combination of the exec-timeout and session-timeout line
configuration commands, set to approximately the same values, to get the
same behaviour from virtual lines that the session-timeout command causes on
physical lines."
You need to set the exec-timeout value on your lines to get the result you
are after.
My working config is as below.
line con 0
session-timeout 300
exec-timeout 0 0
transport input telnet
line 1 16
session-timeout 720
no exec
exec-timeout 0 0
transport input telnet
HTH,
Shine

Hi Andy,
Please use a combination of "session-timeout" under your terminal server's
line 1 32 and "exec-timeout" under your lab equipment's line con 0, to
achieve the kind of timeout you require.
HTH :-)
Thank you.
B.Rgds,
