Does anyone know how to set keepalive on win98 machine?

Scenerio - we have a main branch location with a win98 machine acting like a server - another branch connects to this machine by mapping a drive ( running over a frame-relay with keepalive already enabled on routers). The machine from the branch runs fine until there is some inactivity. Then it loses the connection to the server at the main branch.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance

Run a webcam from the countless numbers on the internet that refreshes every 15 to 20 seconds...in the background.
Depending on the ISP (some automatically break the connection after an alloted time) this may keep it alive.
Also make sure the browser isn't set to kick off after 20 minutes activity.

On this site they have a download for a program called ISPs Nightmare:

It runs in the background and will let you configure a keepalive intervial for the program to use to keep your connection active.
