I ran into something similar when using ServerAliveInterval in OpenSSH. (This is a very useful feature of SSHv2 when your ssh session traverses a firewall with short session timeouts.) ScreenOS drops the connection as soon as one of the keepalive packets shows up. In this case, the connection works for a while because keepalive packets get sent only on an otherwise idle connection. There is also an OpenSSH bug (OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-9etch2) where, if you set ServerAliveInterval for any host in the ssh config file, it gets set for all of them, including the default, so you may have it set without realizing it. I don't know if the bug is fixed in later versions.
