Off the top of my head, I would try two things. First set the idle-timeout value to it's highest value and define ALL traffic to be interesting under the Dialer-List statements. This should keep the line up if you have ANY traffic flowing across the line. You could then setup a ping statement that sends one ping packet every 5 minutes or so just to make sure some traffic is flowing. I would also play with using the ISDN line as a backup interface. With the backup commands you can set the line to never go down once established. Pick an interface, set the ISDN line as the backup to that interface. Then shutdown the interface, which will bring up the ISDN line. Once the ISDN connection is established you can restore the original interface. You may want to try backing up a loopback interface that you then place in shutdown mode. Have no idea if you can backup a loopback interface but it would be interesting to try. Of course both of these solutions are based upon the premise that there is not a more elegant way by simply telling the router to "idle-timeout never" or some other simple command I have not investigated.
