Thank you gentlemen. I feel like a goose now.
I thought "Yes, yes, I've done all that".

When will programs become smart enough to know that that typo was MEANT to
Should I submit a "feature request" for ssh to accept 
"ServerAliveInterva;" as a config statement?

That seems to have fixed things (as far as I can test them at the moment - 
simulating a "loss" by adding a firewall rule to drop packets to and from 
a test client box)

Appreciated.
