 I have the same issue with Cox. Sometimes it will stay going for awile of
idleness, and sometimes it will just drop during a session. I think they
have network issues....

Subject: disconnecting when idle problem

I'm running SSH Secure Shell 3.0.0, build 230. It's on a site license
through the University of Arizona (hence I can't get direct tech assistance
from SSH).

Until last week, I had a DSL account, and used it to log into my university
account from home using SSH. I changed to a cable modem, and suddenly SSH
will disconnect after a few minutes if it is idle (whether it's the open
window or not). The university server operators don't think the problem
could be at their end.
The cable company (Cox) disclaims any responsibility. The problem occurs
when a computer is either directly connected to the cable modem, or via a
router.

Does anyone have a guess as to why this is occurring? It happens to both
home machines, one running Win98 SE, and one running ME.

        Thanks,

        Andy Barss
