Hm.  2 hours is exactly the amount of idle time which causes keepalives to
be sent.  However, I'm not away of any bugs in keepalive handling, and I
just tested that 2 weeks ago (both between freebsd boxes and freebsd and
windows 98.)

Did you have TCP_COMPAT_42 defined?  Can you provide any other information
about the problem?  Were you behind NAT or something strange?

Thanks,
