Yes, Jack.

Open the Control Panel and double click on Internet Options.
Click the Connections tab, highlight your dialup connection and click the
Settings button.
Click the Advanced button in the Dial-up Settings section of the screen.
Uncheck Disconnect if idle for [ ] minutes.
Click OK, and OK again, and OK once more. The new settings should take
effect the next time you connect.
