vpn connection disconnecting when idle

Here's my situation.



I have a database app that connects to a remote database.

They have a secure network so the users need to connect using a VPN
connection



When the PDA is idle for a long period of time the VPN connection is dropped
and the exe produces an error when accessed.



How can I disable the VPN from disconnecting? Is there a way I can "trick"
the PDA from going to an idle status? I tried to call a dummy stored
procedure every five seconds so it thought there was activity but that did
not work. it seems that the idea status is related to hardware, when a key
is struck.



Is there a way I can make my app automatically dial a VPN connection if it
knows that a connection is not active?



any clues?
 
If you have administrator access to the VPN server, and it's a Windows
machine, you change/disable the amount of time the server waits before
disconnecting. You probably do the same thing with a Linux box, but I don't
know. If you need instructions on how to do it for a Windows 2003, let me
know.
