[Linux-disciples] Killing a specific sshd instance

One of my machines at work lost network connectivity, so I lost
the ssh connection to my home machine. It hasn't timed out yet,
so I have a dangling TCP connection. Netstat gives me the port
number of that connection, and ps gives me the process numbers of
all my sshd instances. Is there any way to figure out which port
number maps to which sshd instance, so that I can kill the
appropriate sshd instance?

  into my room with a hacksaw and go "Give 'em up, dad. I need to
  buy a house." And don't get me wrong. I love my little girl as
  much as any parent loves its sprog. But the day she comes after
  my limbs, I'm takin' her out.''
