Notes:
"wake for network access" is a protocol where one sends a carefully
crafted Ethernet packet and the ethernet card, upon receiving it, sends
a "wake up" signal to the machine.
Normal apps don't send those packets that cause a wake up.
And in terms of "keep alive" a connection, there would be a difference
between an idle xterm with no activity (where there is a simple keep
alive every few minutes is enough to keep window active) and an active
app with say a clock display resulting in constant flow of traffic where
lack of ACKs will likely cause timeout much sooner than on an idle xterm.
There may not be a solution to solve all problems, but ability to keep
xterms and other idle apps/connections "alive" while the X
terminal/server is asleep would be welcome.
