This is only a problem on dirty/poor sessions.

In two years of operating this way, I've "suffered" it maybe two three times. openVPN or IPSEC would have suffered it better.

I dunno. I just set up OpenVPN for a local lumber company's sales force and we had to go to TCP because UDP wasn't stable enough. In this case I don't know how I would have implemented an ssh tunnel for them to access their desktop's without making it difficult for them. What would you guys have done in a situation like that?
