Besides sending a periodic CR or any user selectable fixed
(not random) pattern to fight cluster's idle timeouts
DXTelnet can connect periodically, with random based intervals
to the dxsummit's web site.
I know this is a periodic connection to the same site,
by the way this surely creates random traffic and
I'm sure it works in most of the cases.
In addition you don't have to keep your browser running on background
and the page where DXTelnet sucks the spots from does not
have any "refresh" html tag in it: it is the client
that decides randomly when to reconnect.
