The ping interval in the IRC server is currently hardcoded to 2 minutes, and not configurable: https://github.com/InterLinked1/lbbs/blob/master/nets/net_irc.c#L56
In certain applications, it may be desirable to adjust this.
For example, using a lower ping timeout would allow quicker discovery of clients that have non-explicitly disconnected from the server (e.g. loss of network connectivity, laptop went to sleep). If knowing if a user is online in realtime is important, the sysop may thus deem it worth reducing the ping interval if this is important for some reason.
