A good way to not get dropped after 20 minutes is to create a cron job or get a ping program that pings some location on the internet (a good place would be your provider) this will give you your activity needed to stay up. If you get dropped after 20 minutes set the ping to do its stuff every 15 or 17 minutes just to be safe.
