"Internet Connect" drops connection due to inactivity

I am currently using Apples "Internet Connect" to connect to my service provider. When I'm listening to a radio stream on iTunes I sometimes, after 30 minutes, get a pop-up window from "Internet Connect" asking whether I want to stay connected to my internet provider. If I don't acknowledge it (Internet Connect) disconnects. This can be a problem when trying to record a 3 hour program.

How do I override this function?

Try going to Network -> Internal Modem -> PPP options
Then adjust the "Prompt every X minutes to maintain connection"
