I found this link some time ago and have attached it to a few TinyTDS issues 
regarding poor connections.

        "It causes good connection to break during transient network 
failures. 
        So configuring the keep-alive values too small is not recommended..."

I took notice of that quote. I myself have never had network issues because 
the server is always local. I wonder if anyone can shed some light on their 
experiences with a keep alive setting from the server and/or how that relates 
if at all to FreeTDS.
