[olug] ssh and Cox

[Terry]

Your safest bet is to send KeepAlives from your ssh
client rather than from the Server.  My guess is your
work Pix has an xlate timeout in place that is not
friendly to streamed connections such as ssh/telnet.

I know putty has a keepalive option, if you are using
windows.  The keepalive option for sshd is set to
'yes' by default so unless you have done something
outside of the norm, you already have this enabled. 
Give putty a roll if you haven't yet:
