[WriteLog] Re: Internet Time out

[FireBrick]

some of the internet clusters and some ISP's have gotten on to the practice
of sending a CR to simulate activity and reset their 'inactivity' timers.

they have programmed their systems to detect a pattern of these attempts and
determine if in fact they are 'keep alive' packets.

Certain ISP's have even gone so far as to monitor 'email requests' and if
their is a undue pattern with no email to be recieved, they translate that
to be 'keep alives' also.

As most of the 'keep alive' work arounds don't allow for RANDOM attempts,
the ISP's software can readily detect the patterns for what they are.

Hence you may get disconnected even with this ruse.

What MAY  work for the time being is a script that requests various URL's
that you have requested in the past month, and does it with a random time
and selection factor.
Of course you would have to have your browser working in the background
chewing up cpu cycles.

Hope you find a work a round.
