Milambar, I really don't think you need to be paying out for KVM just on the off-chance your SSHd might crash. Mine has never crashed on Debian, even after well over two years up-time.

Back on-topic, so far a solution has been to configure PuTTY to send keep-alive packets every 60 seconds. I think there's a server-side solution too which I'll probably get around to eventually, as at the moment WinSCP freezes for several seconds before making me go through the 'abort, reconnect, go back to where I was' rigmarole.

All because Virgin are enforcing something which is probably just a workaround for the router's poor ability to handle too many open connections at once? Probably.
