Dimitry,
I've been all over the release notes and the .conf file. They say to lock up
the DummyPacketInterval setting and throw away the key!

From FB v1.5.3 Release Notes:
"Warning
DO NOT USE THIS OPTION on a Win32 server running TCP/IP clients. It causes a
persistent
increase in usage of kernel non-paged memory which may hang or crash Windows
on the client
side as explained at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=296265."

From Firebird.conf:
"# DO NOT USE THIS OPTION. It may hang or crash Windows on the client side
as
# explained here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=296265
# or may not prevent eventual inactive client disconnection for other OS."
