How to avoid dropped SSH connections?

Scenario: I have two SSH windows open to the same host. I'm typing in one of them. Suddenly, the host starts loosing packets. A few minutes later the packet loss subsides.

Result: The SSH window that I was typing in loses connection with the remote host. However, the window that I was not typing in is still connected and working fine.

Does anyone know how I can make it so that both windows would remain connected? I'm guessing that it's something that I can configure on my end---my computer is noticing that TCP acknowledgements (for the text that I typed) keep failing to come back so it gives up and closes the connection. How can I make it not give up?

I'm using SecureCRT on Windows 98 (Dialup Networking).
