Hi,

some of our customers have very slow (ISDN) connection to us. It happens
very often that no transmission is done for 60 seconds. Our TCP/IP router
closes the connection because we pay for the time (not for the transmitted bytes)
we are connected to Internet. After a while the ftpd server does something that
makes the router to activate the connection again. Because the remote side is still
not ready to read the connection will timeout and the router closes the connection thus
we have unnecessary payed for the dialing and for the time we were connected to
Internet.

Does anybody know a solution to prevent the ftpd server to activate the connection ?
