Disabling Modem Disconnection If Idle

While doing a long download, you don't want the modem to disconnect 
automatically if the mouse or keyboard isn't used. 

This is most probably already set the way it needs to be.  
If the following seems to not fit your particular setup, 
simply ignore this step and go ahead and give the download a try.


Here is how to disable modem disconnect: 


Start | Settings | Control Panel
Double-click System icon.
Click tab for Device Manager.
Click the + by Modem.
Click below that on your specific modem.
With your specific modem highlighted, click Properties button down below.
Click the Connection tab.
Look at the checkbox by Disconnect a call if idle . . ..
Only if it has a checkmark by it, click the box to UNcheck it.  
Click OK.
