Your last name suggests Polish roots, so greetings from Poland.

I'm facing same problems with certain Firebird instances on Linux (but
not all). My linux/network administrator has given up long time ago. For
certain reason the established connection is dropped but on the network
layer level not by Firebird, and as I has observed, it is dropped after
certain time of "inactivity". So I solved this problem setting a timer
that every 60 seconds it execute some dummy query (like select 1 from
rdb$database) just to "ping" the firebird server. And problems are gone...
