I suggest you use the "impulse" directive, say
impulse 130,160,20
It means diald will drop the line only after the first 130 seconds if there's
no traffic in the following 20 seconds, then repeat (160 seconds without
dropping the line and 20 seconds to drop it if there's no traffic).
The first period is shorter to discount the time needed for modem
negotiation/link establishment.
This way you won't be giving away to the phone company what you've already
paid.
Bye
