I have a redhat 6.1 system running on a 24 network cablemodem. It
masquerades my win9x machine on a 192.168 network. It works fairly well. All
but one little problem. It is periodical. When the system sits for awhile it
stops working. The best way I have found is to telnet from my 192 address to
the 24 address. That's the only thing that wakes up the system. Any
thoughts. If I ping or use http or mail or anything else I just get time
outs. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas what is causing this.

APM enabled in the BIOS of your Linux firewall? Doing so often causes
problems when the system "sits for a while".

IF it is APM problems, on ANY kind of server, serving any resources, it
SHOULD become common practise to turn off any APM support. APM is known to
not resume correctly on system devices (all the way from PCMCIA on
notebooks, so PCI slots on desktops).

No APM is not enabled in the system BIOS.
What else?
