IIRC, if a read attempt is done on channel that has its network cable
unplugged should result in some kind of an IOException being thrown even
if there is no data readily available on the channel.
So, some kind of "heart beat" mechanism that does a periodic read() of a
channel should detect a disconnected network cable.
Perhaps a simple program would prove / disprove this?
