Killing A Frozen SSH Session

Whenever an SSH session freezes, I usually mash the keyboard in desperation and then kill the terminal session. This can be avoided though. SSH will listen for the following kill command:

~.<cr>

This will kill the frozen SSH session and leave you in the terminal where you were before you SSH'd.
