Perfect - thx, capt. apathy.
My ISP will boot me for inactivity, so sometimes I'm not actively hitting pages, but I don't want to lose my connection, so I just need something I can run in the background that counts as 'activity' since doing a constant ping doesn't work.
Case in point, qualifying on the rifle range in America's Army, but it disconnecting before I'm done, then crashing them game when it reconnects to upload my scores.

Thanks again!
