KeepAlives won't help you in this, as they are used by the TCP stack
to notice if the connection is still up, if no data has gone through
for a set time (defaults to 2-3 hours in Linux, *BSD; I don't know
about Windows).
It could be that when you close the dial-up connection, the adapter
informs the TCP stack that the connection is down. If this is the
case, and the adapter (=dial-up adapter driver) can't be configured to
do otherwise, you're out of luck.
OTOH, I don't know too much about the internal workings of
Windows. Has anyone else more experience on this?
