From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:



  AFK [MUD] Abbrev. for "Away From Keyboard". Used to notify others that
     you will be momentarily unavailable online. eg. "Let's not go kill that
     frost giant yet, I need to go AFK to make a phone call". Often MUDs will
     have a command to politely inform others of your absence when they try
     to talk with you. The term is not restricted to MUDs, however, and has
     become common in many chat situations, from IRC to Unix talk.
