SSH connections can survive disconnects/reconnects provided the IP addresses involved remain the same. The timeout before an SSH connection closes is long enough that I've been able to do dial-up PPP connection to a host, start an SSH session, disconnect dial-up PPP link for >10 minutes, reconnect dial-up PPP (same IP as earlier) and the SSH session continues where it left off.
