Keeping dial up connections alive

Hello all,

Can someone please tell me how I can keep a dialup connection on a
server (e-smith) alive perhaps via a script that pings the ISP mail
server (or http server) say every 5 minutes? I am using a modem to
connect to my ISP. I would like this to start when the m/c is booted.

Cheers,
Anthony
