diald seemed to be an overkill for this application. I downloaded it
and had a quick look (I didn't see the bit on intervals, so perhaps I
was too quick), and saw that it required slip support to be compiled
in the kernel. While I could compile SLIP support into the kernel, I
doubt SLIP support is required in order to do what I want...
I think diald is aimed at dial-on-demand, where my connection is
permenant (or meant to be).
