	Screen keeps your programs running after the link goes down,
and you can do a screen -RAD to reconnect upon sshing back in.  It
won't stop the frustration of the link drop, but it'll mitigate any
damage done by abnormal termination of programs, lost data, etc.

	I think most lnx-bbc developers use screen pretty extensively.
I don't think I ever ssh anyplace without instinctively starting up a
session, even if only for one window.
