Hi,

I hate it when I miss something in a post and feel the need to reply
twice... 

If all you're looking for is to know when the server is back on line,
start an xterm do a `ping server.domain` when the server comes back
you'll start seeing the echo replies fly by and you can reconnect.

BTW the magic keys to get out of a hung ssh session due to network
collapse is    ~&    you may need to hit return before as well as
after this sequence.  This puts the session into the background, and
is also handy to get a local terminal back while maintaining tuneled
ports.
