Dropping SSH connections over the internet

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
