I tested without the 'ping' for several days (v1.1b4) and the sessions 
did indeed timeout.

I have re-installed the 10 minute 'ping' in 1.1b5 and the sessions stay 
connected over periods of little or no activity.

I don't think 1 'ping' every 10 minutes will pose a bandwidth problem, 
but if there are any complaints I can make it an option.
