Package: apt Version: 0.5.3 Severity: wishlist I normally connect to the world via a dialup from a firewall running FreeSCO. I have a time out for FreeSCO, after which it drops line. If apt-get happens to hit a quiet period, it sometime happens that FreeSCO drops the line, while apt-get is waiting for a packet. After this, no transfer ever seems to occur. It would be nice if apt-get had some kind of a timeout value, such that if it hadn't recieved a packet in a certain length of time, it would "tickle" the other end to see if it could re-initiate transfer.
