Make sure keepalive is enabled in your Mac SSH config.

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh_config&sektion=5&arch=&apropos=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current

Also, is your Mac going through a different gateway or something? I know
that when I SSH through my Qube and am idle, the NAT/whatever piece cuts
me off regardless of keepalive being enabled...
