I gave PuTTY a try for ssh, but couldn't get it to connect at all.  I'd 
been using SSH Secure Shell for Windows (now SSH Tectia) in the past, 
and that was fine except I don't see a keepalive option.  If I can't get 
a keepalive on the client side, I might look into changing the firewall 
so it doesn't boot me out so fast.
