    That depends on which ssh implementation you're using. If it's
    openssh:

    $ man sshd_config
    [snip]
    ClientAliveInterval
            Sets a timeout interval in seconds after which if no data has
            been received from the client, sshd will send a message through
            the encrypted channel to request a response from the client. The
            default is 0, indicating that these messages will not be sent to
            the client. This option applies to protocol version 2 only.

    PuTTY can do this on the client side (Connection->Seconds between
    keepalives)

        Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
    usually comes from bad judgement.
