Thanks, I don't know if this works as the router I'm using ATM never closes the connections, but this seems to be the right option (I don't remember seeing it before). I've also set ServerAliveCountMax to a big number, so that the connection isn't closed when there is a temporary network problem. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% validated (X)HTML - Acorn / RISC OS / ARM, free software, YP17, Championnat International des Jeux Mathématiques et Logiques, etc. Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / SPACES project at LORIA
