Thanks for your info. After a few tests tha I made, i discoverd that after I disconnect the sessions from the termserver which is a ciscos2511, the tty line of the session returns to the idle state (issuing who command i see the tty line in idle state). In order to manage the reverse telnet session i have to manually clear the tty line of the session using the clear line command. But on some routers the TTY becomes idle again 2 seconds after issuing command clear line . This does not allow me to do reverse telnet.
Now I had to try a few times to clear the tty line using the clear command in order to be able to do reverse telnet. I think that their maybe some traffic on the line which keeps the line to the idle state but i did not manage to find out what it is.
