Cheesy, I know, but I usually just keep pine running in the background through SSH to keep the connection active. I don't have to do anything in the window and it has kept my secure tunnels active even in an overnight test.

I am trying to maintain an SSH <> Putty connection on my local network

I let the WinXP machine lapse into suspend mode. If I come back hours
later the connection is hosed. I put a 'keepalive no' in the ssh config in
Linux and have no kepalives defined in putty. It is my understanding from
ssh docs that this is the wa to keep a session opened. It still closes. I
was reading on the net about router timeouts, in particuliar NAT
inactivity timeouts but that should not effect this as it is on the local
network. This must be a lower level timeout as ssh<>putty sessions I
open without suspend but no actual activity, do not timeout. Any ideas?
