TCP disconnects of idle connections using ip-masquerading.

I'm using PPP and ip-masquerading to connect a lan to the Internet.
The ppp box is running 2.0.30

I find that telnet sessions from another machine on the network die
after about 10 minutes idle.
Is this a known problem, perhaps something to do with TCP keepalives?
The telnet is coming from a Win95 box.
The problem isnt to do with autologout or anything like than since I can
keep telnets alive if I dial in from the win95 box.
