Yes, 4 (or is it 5) minutes, this can be set by yourself by adjusting
your response to the Protocol: prompt adding an 

idle=#

where # is the number of seconds for the timeout, and 0 means no timeout.

There may also be a timeout set elsewhere in your software, that and
the method of altering your idle setting should be addressed in the
appropriate platform specific newsgroup. At a guess demon.ip.support.winsock
