Put this into a script file, call it hangon.sh--use kedit or your favorite
editor.

This will ping your naisp nameservers at intervals of 18-20 minutes (the
activity timer is usually 20) and the commands will not stop, ever. If you
are not connected when they start, no problem, they just gather statistics on
lost packets. Make hangon.sh executable and put
sh /home/yourusername/hangon.sh
as the last line of /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
Perhaps you see why stayalive apps are scarce for linux.
Another alternative is to put ICQ up using licq and immediately drop to a
"privacy" state. It is still activity and will keep you connected.
