Tickle application note:

Tickle was created for Windows95/98 and NT4/5.

Tickle is shareware - it is not free. 
There is a 30 trial evaluation period.

TERMS 

The license.txt should be read before use. 

WHAT IT DOES

The application is Tickle.exe and it runs in the Tray Area of the
Task Bar. Tickle keeps a winsock channel alive. Most Internet Service
Providers (ISP) monitor your connection for activity. If you leave
the line quiet for too long they will break the connection, forcing
you to redial. Tickle will keep some 'heartbeat' activity so the ISP 
will not hang-up on you. Plus, the new 'randomize' features will have 
any server convinced you are actually surfing - not just mindlessly 
pinging the same address once a minute. Double-click on the little
hand in the Tray Area of the Task Bar to expose Tickle's main window.

INSTALLATION

Unzip the download file and run setup.exe. Take the defaults 
and the program will be installed in the Program Files\Tickle 
directory with a shortcut in your StartUp folder.

Comments should be sent to pgerhart@worldlynx.net
