(fboundp 'process-type) ;; Emacs 22 doesn't provide it. (eq (process-type process) 'network)) ;; Use TCP-keepalive so that connections that pass through a NAT router ;; don't hang when left idle. (set-network-process-option process :keepalive t)) I think nowadays it makes sense to set that as the default for all Emacs network connections (though the user should be able to turn it off, and the OS has to allow it of course). Can we make that change after 24.1 is out? Thanks Ted
