I know, this is what I am doing now.
I am only suggesting that it would be handy to have a way to check if  
the serverconnection is alive without resetting the client timeout.
I suppose I can write this by asking for the the timeoutlength from  
the server and trigger my isconnected check only after the disconnect  
has (should have) occured.

What servervariable do I have to query to obtain the timeout length ?
