[G4] Modem connection "reminder"

[Jim Pacyga]

Go to your modem configuration.  It should be under PPP options.  In 
there it has a setting to terminate the modem connection due to 
inactivity.  It will cause that behavior.  You can turn off the feature 
entirely or set it so that the timer is long enough for you to do your 
work.
