That sounds, to me, as though you have very serious communications issues that need to be solved, and yesterday. We've used ssh here, and at my previous two? three? contracts, for years, and almost *never* have an ssh connection break.
It does happen. SSH is not as forgiving to network glitches as one would wish sometimes. A firewall that drops idle or long-running TCP connections, a DSL link doing its daily PPPoE disconnect at an inopportune moment, a VPN tunnel dropping, a hole in UMTS coverage, have all killed a SSH connection for me one time or another.
