RE: frequent interruptions when connected over modem
[In reply to]

Dieter:
My guess for the reason that those FTP clients don't drop the
connection is that they automagically restore it when dropped.
If U try an FTP transfer using the command-line FTP client in
Windows, does the connection stay 'on,' or does it drop? That
FTP client is as simple as it gets, and is not likely to attempt
to re-connect a dropped session. OTOH, in my experience, most
not-so-simple FTP clients *will* attempt to re-connect.
Thx, Phil Long

Hi Christopher,
thanks for the hints. I have indeed also tried SSH tunnelling
with even worse results (connection drops every several
seconds). The interesting point is that FTPing works without
drops (I downloaded a file from the same PC over 40 minutes).
This made me think that it must have to do with RealVNC. It
also does not seem to be the 3G connection that drops it looks
like if the VNC connection were somewhat shaky or unstable
when compared to FTP. I'll try the constant ping though and let
you know the results....
