Silent disconnects...

Both MSN and Yahoo have been silently disconnecting a lot (I noticed 
just now because a friend has signed off AIM and not Yahoo, and upon 
dis- and reconnecting to Yahoo she was off it as well). Is there any 
system that could confirm status? Perhaps a message sent to yourself 
automatically every so often that would be hidden from the user, but 
would determine that the user is still indeed online, and if not allow 
for reconnection?

Obviously the ideal is not to have silent disconnects in the first 
place... but I imagine it could very well be a server side thing, 
rather than something in Fire.
