I played with this a bit on my slower dial-up from home.  Once I got
quite a bit of data going across, one or two of the internet
connections would drop me.  I didn't play long enough to figure out
whether retry was going to work on each, but it has in the past.
It's a long timeout though, something like 7 minutes to determine
that you were dropped, another 7 to start a new connect.

Could it be that you're not snagging the data quick enough across
the interface, the remote end figures that out, and drops you?

You might try a filtered interface to see if it stays up longer when
the volume of data is lower.
