This is normal. Diald is an intelligent connection handler. It can
enable different timeouts depending on the various kinds of packets
which go through the link. I guess the ICMP ECHO packets are not
maintaining the link. The default is 10minutes for standard TCP
packets. Try a telnet, and the link should stay up for 10 minutes.
If you want to modify the different timeouts, I'd suggest to read the
manpage carefully (thing you're likely not to have done :-).

Do you have a `defaultroute' command in your diald.options file ? Are the addresses of both sides of the link correct in this file too (`local' and `remote') ?
