I might be wrong, but it seems to me that it's your ISP that's closing down the
connection... mine runs for hours/days on SuSE 6.3, BUT if I don't have
activity for a while (5min?) my ISP closes it down.

Solution: Set up a CRON job to ping your ISP every 5,10 or so minutes. Or, if
you are using fetchmail, set it to fetch mail every 5 minutes or so (this is
what I do).
