I'm throwing this out to coders and the like, though I know it's at best a longshot that anyone will see this topic with enough interest or knowledge to be able to assist. I just began using KildClient(a MUD client located in the Add/Remove Programs for Ubuntu) for running MU* environments, yet I have an issue. I am behind a router, and so it cuts off the connection without warning after a set period unless the connection pings back that it's still alive. This feature is commonly called a TCP KeepAlive with MU* clients, yet KildClient lacks this. I was curious if anyone had the knowledge and skill to investigate how and if it would be possible to integrate or add a KeepAlive to KildClient using the integrated options for scripts or plug-ins, or if anyone would know if there was anything already in existence to add in this feature. I would be greatly appreciative of any effort expended, as I know that many of you that frequent these forums are the best of the best in regard to this sort of thing regardless of modesty. :)
