Just noticed this on EBSCOnet when I logged in today.  Yay!

Effective 3/9/2007:

After reviewing usage patterns of our customers, we have increased the
timeout period from 30 minutes to 2 hours. We will continue to evaluate
usage and will consider further adjustments to the timeout period if needed.

Speak, and EBSCO listens!  Good job EBSCO!
