Could there be some odd > interaction between cu and ssh? Is the cu session producing regular output? If not, could there be some sort of idle timeout at the remote end disconnecting it? (All the other sessions you mention above [e.g., top] seem like they would be generating regular output.) Are you using the ServerAliveInterval option at the client side of the SSH session to ensure semi-regular traffic is being sent through the connection? This can help prevent the connection state being aged out with some stateful firewall setups. Cheers, Paul.
