(which means that if the yahoo transport was behind certain firewalls,
user connections would timeout after ~5 minutes of in-activity)

FYI: I've just fixed this in CVS.

CPU load should be less, but obviously network load will go up a bit.
 Depending on feedback, I might add an option to 'reset' the
connection idle counter each time a packet is sent.

(The keep-alive duration is suggested dynamically by the yahoo server,
default is a keep-alive per-user every 4 minutes.  I've made it
randomize the point at which keep-alives are sent so that the network
usage doesn't peak because of them too)
