I have used the ProtocolKeepAlives option (KeepAlive seems to
default to 'on'). I use 30 and have been able to use my remote
system at work all day in one session. 

So it seems to do what I want. I'll check tomorrow if your solution
also works from work to home.

Many thanks. It'll save frustration.
