What's the most efficient way to check whether or not the connection to
the server is still active?  Is there a property I can check, or a
function I can call to do this?

Right now I'm resorting to a GetRemoteDateTime call, wrapped in a
try..except construct that closes the session on the "Abort" exception
that an interrupted network connection causes...

The only way to check is to initiate an action with the ElevateDB Server.
If the connection was not active, or interrupted, then you can code an
TEDBSession.OnRemoteReconnect event handler to intercept the reconnect and
determine whether to reconnect or not.

Of course, one way to make sure that the connection is not interrupted is to
set the TEDBSession.RemotePing property to True.
