You might want to disable the posting of a single letter to initial a dialout, by marking the internet as "expensive" in your sendmail.cf / m4.

A ping -n10 isp.name.domain in cron executed at your preferred interval will open the link. Leif Neland leifn@image.dk --- |Fidonet: Leif Neland 2:234/49 |Internet: leifn@image.dk
