Way to avoid ssh connection timeout & freezing of GNOME Terminal
Problem
When I connect via ssh to certain servers, it timeouts and "freezes" the terminal (doesn't accept input, doesn't disconnect, can't Ctrl-C to kill the ssh process or anything). This is in Ubuntu's though it seems to be pausing the terminal input/output, and doesn't affect the operation of the GNOME Terminal software itself. So less a bug with than an annoying inconsistency with ssh. So, is there a way to prevent/regain the terminal from ssh connections that have timed out?
