Carol,

I am (desperatly) looking for a clock (tiny - digital)
that will launch with an "Always On Top" option and
refresh itself every single second... I believe this could
perhaps be sufficient network traffic to keep the
connection from stopping.... However, I have not been
able to find a clock that does NOT have a systray
reference.... An issue for me as the TS users do not have
systray visible (GPO) and all clocks I have found created
a mem or systray failure (as systray is not there and
somehow the clock icon is looking for the taskbar without
success.... [see softwaremaniacs.com's DeskClock for an
example of what I am talking about] .... could work
perfectly.... but the systray ref for me is a problem...

Anyway, perhaps this could help generate a per second
network traffic which could keep the connection alive....

I have yet to prove though...

;-)

However, as soon as the terminal session is minimized and
runs in the backgroud, the session is dropped within
minutes.
