Could be you've got an intermediate router that's dropping you, possibly
after ten minutes' idle time.
I'd added the following line to /etc/init.d/networking:
networking: # set keepalives to 5 minutes rather than 3 hours
networking: echo 300 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time
...to counter a similar problem.
If you're dealing with a *hard* session timeout of 10 minutes, I'd
advise you to learn to love screen.
Peace.
