I'm confused.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=296265 seems to refer to an
unpached Windows 2000 and my reading was Windows 2000 didn't drop
connections - bur all of FB v1.5.3 + Xeon + Win2003 + VMWare did.

or is DummyPacketInterval what changed after v1.5.2?

Am I missing something here?
