I don't know the details of how/why you are using FTP, but SSH has a nice feature called SFTP (built in to ssh). Most of today's ftp clients that I know of can also access SFTP. This would do two things for you - it removes the conflict on port 21 (ftp or ssh), and removes a service from the box, meaning it has less work to do, so should run a little better. In addition, it ups you security some. If that's not an option, then you *could* do some creative IP forwarding. Something along the lines of "if traffic arrives on port 21 from your work's IP address, then forward that to port 22 for ssh access, otherwise assume it is plain ol' ftp". As for leaving your laptop on during the day, well you need SOME box on during the day anyways, and I'd rather leave a laptop running than a desktop just for the power consumption... As for Kmail crashing on you all the time, that's an application specific issue and should be thought of independently of your connectivity issues. But, I recently did run into a problem that caused Kmail to crash on start for me. The problem was that I had used another IMAP client and removed some emails from the IMAP folder Kmail was last viewing. So when Kmail would start, it would try to load that folder, and it just so happened that the last viewed email had been removed, causing kmail to crash. I got around this by being very very quick with the mouse and selecting another folder before kmail tried to process the current one (I got lucky). Your problems sound somewhat similar... I'm not sure if this is simply a configuration problem, or if it's a bug that should be reported...
