%% Send a TICK to the other side.
%%
%% This will happen every 15 seconds (by default) 
%% The idea here is that every 15 secs, we write a little 
%% something on the connection if we haven't written anything for 
%% the last 15 secs.
%% This will ensure that nodes that are not responding due to 
%% hardware errors (Or being suspended by means of ^Z) will 
%% be considered to be down. If we do not want to have this  
%% we must start the net_kernel (in erlang) without its 
%% ticker process, In that case this code will never run 

%% And then every 60 seconds we also check the connection and 
%% close it if we havn't received anything on it for the 
%% last 60 secs. If ticked == tick we havn't received anything 
%% on the connection the last 60 secs. 

%% The detection time interval is thus, by default, 45s < DT < 75s 

%% A HIDDEN node is always (if not a pending write) ticked if 
%% we haven't read anything as a hidden node only ticks when it receives 
%% a TICK !!
