trying to look ahead to when I can get FB, I wanted to see about using
timeouts I found the link etc below but it doesn't seem to be what I'm after
or I'm using the wrong terminology.

I'm looking for the ability to tell the server to drop the client/server
connection after a (configurable) period of inactivity.

If possible I'd also like (in the client) to detect that the connection has
been dropped and reconnect invisibly to the user (except for the
extra time)

all connections made via ODBC

>To try and handle this, the parameters
>CONNECTION_TIMEOUT 180 (in seconds)
>DUMMY_PACKET_INTERVAL 60 (in seconds)
