I occasionally have to remotely admin a server at the office from

I can connect to and log into the server just fine. The session
works great as long as I am actively doing something in the shell.
However, if I let it sit idle for (it seems) < 1 minute, the
session seems to just lock up.
There is no indication that I've been bumped off the server -
nothing changes in the window.
But no new keystrokes are registered, and the only way I can exit
out of the shell is to close the terminal window.
Where should I be looking to find the cause of this behavior? How
can I diagnose what is going on here?
A cursory review of /etc/ssh/sshd_config revealed nothing
enlightening.
It is my understanding that the SSH client can be set to send empty
packets to keep the session alive. Each client is different. Which
SSH client are you using?
The default installed on OS X 10.5.2.
