Is there a recommended way to start DSL without any network request, so that it's nearly always on? In openSUSE documentation I only found two alternatives: always-on and manually. Both are not ideal. (I know, that the provider breaks the connection every 24 hours. The router should reconnect then.)
It sounds like you will have to generate traffic occasionally. If the ISP is killing the connection, there's nothing else that will work. I'd say a ping every hour or so should do the trick. That won't cost much performance.
It should be possible to configure the network for always on, and reconnect automatically when it does, instantly. Routers do. Maybe IDLETIME 0 or -1, just a very wild guess. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
