Hi,
awhile ago when I had dial up, I had a similar problem and used to use a
software program that would free me up from the inactivity disconnect
blues. A search on google, brought up this gem that would seem to fit
the bill:

Hope this helps.

I have the same problem, with dial-up connection at 26.1k top speed. I
would think that an upgrade over the web would only download the
changed components, and should be quite quick. 4 hours or more is just
not doable from here. (Evidently most people have fast connections,
because no one else has responded to this problem.)
