If it's easy enough, then I don't see why not, but I'm not altogether
familiar with the internals of Kannel, so other than using your below code
as a starting point, I wouldn't know what to do. Personally, I think that
given enquire_link_interval is configurable that adds enough flexability -
this is similar to how IRC servers do things, with a configurable ping-time,
but if you miss two then you're disconnected, but if people think it needs
the extra option then I can try and add it.

I think that if the connection has gotten so far as to miss three pings,
it's not likely to recover, and manually sending another enquire_link would
complicate the code needlessly, but again, I'm sure there are people more
knowledgable about this than me and if they think different, then I can try
and implement it.
