You can configure the RAS server auto-disconnect in the registry at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesRemoteAccessParametersAutoDisconnect

as a type REG_DWORD. The default is 20 minutes..

If you set the string to 0, disconnection is very fast. If a connection is inactive for longer than this, it is disconnected.

When you edit the phone book on a client, the User Preferences for client side disconnect is stored at the following REG_DWORD:

HKEY_Current_UserSoftwareMicrosoftRAS PhonebookIdleHangUpSeconds

and the Logon Preferences at:

HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTSoftwareMicrosoftRAS PhonebookIdleHangUpSeconds

Remote Acess Autodial Manager must be running for the above to function.
