I already closed it, and so did Stuart Lamble, but in a much more
polite fashion. I guess he's just a nicer person.

well, diald really has some advanced features which i use very much.
such as: dont bring the line up on various requests (like ns-requests
in my setup) and it's more effective because it holds the line up
during the current time-tick (which is sometimes about 4 minutes here)
even if the link is idle. only if it's still idle some seconds before
the next tick it closes the connection.
pppd seems to look only at the amount of time the link is idle
and closes the connection even if the current tick has just
happened. the next request will reopen the link and costs me
another unit. (well, DM 0.12 but it's a monopol company :-)
