This may not be a Verizon issue at all. I have always had this problem with connections through my Netgear router. Now that I've moved to using a dedicated router (half-depth server running Linux/iptables), it's not a problem anymore. Ultimately, the keepalive stuff ought to work. It never drops an SSH connection while in use, so I've done things like 'tail -f /var/log/messages' or some kind of bash 'while [ 0 ]; do sleep 5; do something_else;done' loop on the prompt to keep them open longer in the past. -N _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
