no need for crontab. just save and run this perl script:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

my $host = "my_isp_host";
my $email_addy = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";

my $ping = "/bin/ping";
my $sleep = "/bin/sleep";
my $mail = "/bin/mail";
my $echo = "/bin/echo";

while(1){
       `$ping $host -c 2 -w 2`;        #ping with 2 sec timeout
       if($?) {
               `$echo \"\" | $mail -s \"No ping from $host\" $email_addy`;

       `$sleep 300`;     #sleep for 5 mins

#!/bin/sh

ping -c 2 <ip-address-here>
if [ ! "$?" = 0 ]; then
<mail command here>
 exit 1
