How to get MINA to detect a lost connection?

[Yigal Rachman]

Hi, Folks:

I have an instrument driver that is built on MINA.  During normal 
operation, it does not write to the instrument, but just listens for 
input from the instrument.  This part works flawlessly with very little 
coding on my part (thanks to MINA).

There is one glitch: if the socket connection is ever lost, the driver 
continues to think it is connected because MINA does not close the 
session. 

Any ideas how I can get this to work properly?

Thanks in advance,
