Kevin,

With most ADSL modems you can log into the modem via telnet or using a web interface. Your owners manual should give you the details (it is slightly different for each modem). Once you have logged in, there will be an option to disconnect after a certain period, or to remain connected, and probably even an automatic reconnect after disconnection. Choose what you want. You will need to have entered your log in details in the appropriate place (likely to be PPP, but that is determined by your ISP) so you won't be prompted for username and password at log in.
