I have setup a PPP connection on my masq server but periodically it gets
shutdown due to length of call or other reasons.  Due to this I have been
running 'ping' to ping my ISP's DNS.  This process works great but I have
lately been realizing that ping uses up enormous processor resources and was
wondering if there is a way to ping out every 30-60 seconds instead of all
the time??

Any ideas would be welcome.
