If you need to look at what happened before your question was sent to this 
list...good luck :-), I mean, I don't actually know if there's a way to 
recover that, of course, here there's so much people, just wait :-)

Well, for future cases, you might use screen on machine B, open a screen 
session using -RD option. And work normally. Whenever you want you will be 
able to see what's happening there by connecting through ssh from machine A 
to B and running:
screen -RD

Automatically you will  be "redirected" to the opened session on machine B and 
you'll see the same if you were seated in front of machine B.

Maybe that will allow you to overcome future problems.
