[OZAPRS] T2 Server "heartbeat"

[Scott Evans]

Liz,

For that situation you'd be best to use the udp port on 8080 as then you
won't have the overheads of constant connection, however the trade off is
that you won't show up on the server list of connected stations, but
there's other ways to confirm your data makes it through...
