The easiest way would probably be to install diald (on-demand connect)
Set diald to disconnect after 10 minutes of no activity.
Then all you need should be a crontab entry pinging your ISP every 5
minutes. This way diald would never disconnect itself, and if the
connection goes down, the crontab entry will get it up again within a
few minutes.
Good luck
