Hi!! I don't know if you've already received an answer on this or not, but I was having the same problem. You need to:
- Open System Preferences (Apple menu)
- Click the blue Network icon
- Choose Show: Internal Modem (or whatever you use)
- Click the PPP tab
- Click the PPP Options button
- Uncheck the "Prompt every __ minutes to maintain connection" box.

It totally worked!! I hope this helps!!
