If I remember correctly, I last spoke with them back in October or November.

I haven't had it happen in a week (crosses fingers), I've noticed it tends to
be more likely to happen when I have more network activity (in terms of
bandwidth, like if I'm downloading or uploading a lot from one of my remote
servers).


Hm, what I do with SSH is something like this:

alias mrsa='ssh -2 -fXND 127.0.0.1:12345 my_remote_server_alias'

and then I just run 'mrsa' or whatever I really set it as and it runs a
SOCKS proxy on localhost that is constantly connected to my remote server
without having to leave a terminal open. This is great for some applications
that I need to have proxied over to specific machines to access stuff locally.
