10/7    putty seems to lock up on Windows about 10 minutes after I don't type
        anything ... Even with the keepalive with a "Network error: Software
        caused connection abort" ... Adding the keepalives didn't make any
        difference.  Had to switch since soda no longer supports ssh1 ...
        How do I stop this from happening?
        \_ are you implying that your previous ssh client didn't do this?
                \_ Yes teraterm + ttssh never had this problem.
        \_ Same problem here--I am behind a firewall with a timeout setting
           (haven't checked yet how long).  This is the same for OpenSSH
           3.8.1p1 on OSX, commercial SSH on XP and Mindterm.  Use spinner,
           that usually works for me.  -John
           \_ try both TCPKeepAlive and ServerAliveInterval on openssh...
              curious to know if one helps and not the other.
