In your dial.txt there should be a line with:
  send "ppp mru=1500 idle=300\r"
 or very similar, the idle setting is the number of seconds that NOS 
 will remain online without any activity (or at least so I hear), I'm 
 not sure what counts as activity though but the fact that "ppp" is in 
 the line makes me think it's the recieving and sending o stuff, so 
 set it low and log on, see how it goes!
