    I have a user that has this same problem when he uses SSH to connect to
    one of our servers. In his case he is using ZOC for windows on his end.
      He found that by using ZOC's keep alive feature on the options -
    terminal tab and setting the send character to ^! (which is a break)
    every 3 minutes he does not get kicked off. You will have to see if the
    break character effects whatever application you are using.
