It's not uncommon for ISPs to terminate the connection when the connection is idle for too long (mine does). What you need is to do a search from the mailing list for "stay connected". There are scripts that work. Usually it involves pinging a nearby site (or address) to tell if the connection is dropped. Call the script every 5 minutes and your connection should stay connected or be restored (either way). I believe it's in one of Mark Plummer's questions (or maybe answers). ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Search for mailing list archive using +mark +plummer should locate it.
