Win95 DUN/drops line connection



I use the IBM installed Windows 95 DUN to access my NETCOM account 
for Internet activities.  My Thinkpad 760ED works superbly for 
Web browsing with Netscape Navigator 3.0, puting me in touch with 
financial info,  including Barron's Weekly, available on Saturday 
mornings, the Wall Street Journal, PC Quotes, etc.

My problem is that if I leave the unit unattended for more than about two 
minutes, it automatically drops the line connection.  Many times a 
following re-dial results in busy signals and lots of frustration.  

Is there a way to keep the Windows 95 DUN from automatically dropping 
an inactive connection, for say 10 minutes?  Is this a problem unique 
to the Thinkpad Windows 95 installations?  Additionally, I just got 
the unit back from IBM's EasyServ facility, and note they have 
updated the DSP for reasons of "problems with modem connection"; a nice 
jesture, but I had sent the unit in to fix the low level audio, 
another problem altogether that itself persists!  Does this group 
maintain an index of problems and solutions by Thinkpad model? Maybe 
someone knows about the audio, too? 
 
Thanks,
