Question about Dial Up Connection

Hey Everyone,

This is the first time that I have had to use dial up on my mac (ver. 10.3.2) and see that every 45 min or so I get a message asking me if I want to stay connected. I have to click on stay connected to avoid getting booted off. I was wondering if there was anyway around this, so I can stay online to download files, that take...forever! ;) The message seems to come from mac's internet connect program, and not from earthlink who is my isp.

I appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thanks for your time.
Peace,
Steve

Maybe this…

In Network Preference
Choose PPP Tab
Choose PPP Options Button.
There is an option to "Prompt every "X" minutes to stay connected.
