Yeah this is an old one.

The network is always keept alive, not by sending a specific "keep alive"
packet, but by sending acknowledgements of previous pakets. The first few
connect packets are never needs to be acknowledged be couse they obviusly
got there othere whise there wouldent be a connect. thats why you need
something to start the acknowledgement cykel. So this is an easy fix by
simply changeing the spec so that one needs to acknowlage even the connect
commands.

Im working on this.
