OT: keepalive, PPPoE, and ssh - no joy

Just for the record:  even with "TCPKeepAlive no" in ssh_config, openssh
still drops the second you kill PPPoE.  Just happened on a manual PPPoE
disconnect/reconnect all within 3 seconds.  OpenSSH_4.3p2 on linux kernel
2.2.16C37_III (it's a Cobalt vendor release for a Qube3), behind a D-Link
DI-624 wireless router.

Just to inform those who thought otherwise that disabling keepalive doesn't
work, apparently.

Ordinarily, this list is the wrong place for such things, yes, I know, but
since we were discussing it earlier this week...
