Should be 3 minutes IIRC.  In your script at the protocal prompt instead
of just replying "ppp" reply "ppp,idle=[time in seconds]" eg for a 3
minute timeout you reply "ppp,idle=180" at the protocal prompt.  Your
software may also have an separate inactivity timeout but it sounds like
you are hitting the Demon one.
