Thanks Jared, Mark and Larry,
I realized that the SQLNET.ORA paramet SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME might help me
here. And it looks like I might be able to test it today - our network is
losing it's mind again.
thanks

PL/SQL does not have signals.
If you wrote this in a language that was
more suited to systems programming, such
as oh, say, Perl, this would be easy.
And no, I am not being facetious.
PL/SQL is not an appropriate tool for this
kind of work.
You may be able to do this in Java, but I
don't know.
