VPN question

I have a home grown network in my office for clients to use.(Outside of
my work network)  The problem is that the amount of persons using it is
growing every time they come to my office for work for about a month
straight then leave for 6 months. All of them want to connect back to
their home office using the microsoft built in vpn client. They also now
use a Pix firewall which I have no knowledge of but they do have a
consultant who runs it for them. There are about ten users.

The dilemma I have is that about every 18 hours they all getting booted
out of their vpn and say they cant get onto the internet. It lasts about
5 to ten minutes and about the time I get on the road to come in to see
whats wrong, they are back up and running again. They are working night
and day weekends too...

In my office I have a T1 going to a cisco router, to a linksys router
for nat and then to and hp switch then piped over to the port in the
room to netgear switchboxes at the conference room tables.
My network guys say the T1 is fine etc etc.. I cant really see much of
anything from the linksys.  What should I be looking for to uncover what
is booting them out and back up again so quickly? I called their tech
guy to look at the firewall log and am waiting for feedback.

Thanks in advance
