Thanks to many who replied to my original post. I neglected to
include a couple of important details in my original message:
The client is SSH.COM's Microsoft Windows client, 2.4.0
The server is SSH.COM's Unix server 2.4.0, running on Solaris 7.
KeepAlive no
is set on the SERVER side (and has been for several months).
It has been suggested that I need to set "KeepAlive no" on the
client side as well. However, I cannot find any reference to
KeepAlive in the ssh Windows help file. Has anyone found the
way to make this setting in the SSH.COM Windows client?
Thanks again,
