Yeah, if only I could reproduce it. It generally only happens at night
when I'm not using the computer, but it's still connected. (Last week I
was doing some very, very long analyses that had to run over night, and
I had to leave the VPN connected. I lost all that work when the VPN
disconnected and had to do it all over again. I should have done it in
a screen. Grrr.) I generally leave it running all the time, but I don't
think I've seen it cut off during the day when I'm using it. I could
set up Wireshark but I wonder if I have enough disk space to capture
all the packets until it fails.
