OK, so, the network works?

I don't understand how you're equating some problem with output from
SSH, or SSH dying, etc., with a network problem if the network is
working.  Are you under the impression that the output of the
application can somehow affect the network card device driver?  I highly
doubt it myself, though I suppose anything's possible.  What, exactly,
do you mean by "onscreen"?  What kind of terminal/screen/device are you
using here?

However if it's just an SSH problem then the answers to the other
questions I asked are still the missing piece of the puzzle.
Interactive SSH sessions, while using the same basic protocol and
underlying implementations as SCP are different in that they go through
a pseudo-TTY -- i.e. one more layer of things to cause problems.
