I have a Dial Up connection...

Upgraded to Tiger..One feature driving me mad is its 'feature' of popping up a window asking me if I want to "stay connected" or "disconnect".

If I am not at the computer (i.e., do not respond), it shuts down connection....and I have to start over again and 'babysit' the connection.

I have looked for solution at all the logical places (System Preferences/Network/etc/etc).

How do I turn it off?!

Thank you !

Ok,

if you go into,

systems prefs -> network -> double click the modem -> PPP options

the 2nd one down says "Prompt every "30" minutes to maintain connection, the one below that is "Disconnect if idle for "10" minutes"

Hope thats some help :)
