Dropping SSH connections over the internet

[Alex Janssen]

I regularly connect from home to a Linux box hidden behind a router at 
work via SSH.  Most times it is reliable. Other times the connection 
just stops.  I guess my packets just stop getting to the server.  I can 
logon immediately with another shell, so the server appears to be ok.  
Some times the second connection will be interrupted as well.  Then I 
can start a third and so on.  Other nights, it is rock solid.  I can 
transfer files with scp and login multiple times to run a bunch of apps.
Anyone got any ideas?  I'd like to know if there is something I could do 
about it, within reason.

Thanks,
Alex
