A policy against using ping once every 8 minutes and 20 seconds.
I have never heard of such a thing. I have never had one complain.
However it is not to nice to tie up your providers dialup lines
for extended periods when you are not using it. The only time
I have done this is when using providers
Many ISPs have policy against such a thing, so be careful before you
do it.

Your ISP is probably the one that is doing this, not Linux.

Ping you host once in a while.
ping -i 500 xyz.com > /dev/null &
see ping man page.

Hello all,
I am running PPP connecting to my ISP. However, after connecting, if I
leave the connection idle for about half an hour, the modem will hang up
itself which I do not really want. Can somebody point out to me how to
turn off this feature?
Thanks for help in advance !
