Ok, terminology; it may also help you to understand the issue. There's no such thing as an "ip session". IP is a one-off datagram protocol. What you probably want is for the link not to drop while you have a TCP connection open on a remote system. Unfortunately, it's impossible to detect this, as an open TCP connection normally only generates traffic (which can be detected) when it's doing something. > Edward Wolpert -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] My car has "demand start" - Terry Lambert [[
