I'm using the wvdial function to connect, but if I'm browsing and stop for more than 10 minutes on a single site (like when reading longish linuxchix posts about gun control) I am automatically disconnected.  Is there an easy way to either a) disable the auto disconnect feature or b)extend that to a more reasonable time constraint (20-30 minutes would be fine).

While I don't know wvdial, this is not a common feature of dialling
programs.

It is, however, occasionally found in ISPs or proxy servers.
