Had not looked at that option.  There are a few of them.  I'm no TCP
expert, but I'm a little skeptical that this will do the trick.  The
timing from the firewall logs show a connection established and 2 mintes
later a teardown.  That seems awful fast for a timeout.  Which I'm just
guessing this is not.

I'll try it and see if it helps.  It's a job that takes two hours!
