I have another guess but correct me if i'm wrong. for users like me
that uses a dialup for ipmasq, bandwidth is easily eaten up while
surfing or download stuff, and that causes the keep alive packs from
icq.com to reach the machine much slower?
I have another question. so why is the tcp timeout so much higher?
like 7200? what happens if i set it lower/higher? And the number in
between the 2?
