Well, take into account the time needed for the handshake in the initial
impulse. Diald time begins when the ip layer is up *not* when the remote modem
answers -- and the phone company starts billing :-(
For example:
impulse 120,150,30
will give a first impulse of max. 150 (120+30) seconds and the rest of 180
(150+30).
The 30 seconds difference is to take care of call establishment (modem
handshake, ppp negotiation, etc.).

I have a page about it at http://www.luca.ddns.org/diald-win-e.html
Now I'm (happily) using qmail instead of sendmail but the rest of the
instructions should still be valid.
