To specify disconnect times (copied from Help & Support)
You must be logged on as a computer administrator in order to complete this
procedure.
1.. Open Phone and Modem Options in Control Panel.
2.. On the Modems tab, click the modem you want to configure, then click
Properties.
3.. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Change Default Preferences.
4.. On the General tab, under Call preferences: To Do this
Automatically disconnect when a connection is not used for a
specified time. Select the Disconnect a call if idle for more than check
box, and then type the number of minutes the modem should wait before
disconnecting.
Change the time allowed to make a new connection. Type the number of
seconds in Cancel the call if not connected within.
Notes
a.. To open Phone and Modem Options, click Start, click Control Panel, and
then double-click Phone and Modem Options.
b.. Note that these are the default settings. If these parameters are
specified by an application program, the program's settings will take
precedence.
c.. If you are using a network connection, the disconnect time is
determined by the redialing options for the network connection, rather than
by the setting in the modem's properties. For information about configuring
a connection, click Related Topics.
