All too often, my ssh session will freeze. I'm fairly certain the problem is at my end. None of the tilde commands work. In particular, ~# and ~. are nonfunctional. I can write to ssh's terminal window from another terminal window. If I kill the ssh process, I can ssh in again. The next time it happens, I will try another ssh session without killing the first one. dmesg did not show me anything interesting.

what OS/version are you ssh'ing from? what version of ssh is installed on this? [1]
openssh-clients-5.3p1-111.el6.x86_64
what OS/version are you ssh'ing to? what version of sshd is installed on this? [2]

what network media is between these two hosts? anything out of the ordinary in the setup?
Ethernet connection to CenturyLink router/DSL-modem. I hadn't thought to check for anything interesting on the router. I'll do that the next time it happens.
