LINK_TIMEOUT environment variable

[heiser at ethz.UUCP]

On our VAX/Ultrix systems everybody seems to have a line
setenv LINK_TIMEOUT 3
in their .login files, however nobody seems to know what it does.
A "grep LINK_TIMEOUT *" in the manuals did't help either. Does anybody know what this
environment variable is good for?

Please respond by mail
