This is a parameter of your machine's TCP stack. On darwin and FreeBSD you'd do 'sysctl -w net.inet.tcp.keepintvl=nnn', on Linux you'd 'echo nnn > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_intvl' (2.4 and later kernels) and on Windows you'll probably have to change something well documented in the registry!
