Unintentional Connection using ISDN
I have a QS 733 with MacOS 10.1.5 and connecting to internet via ISDN. Also using a Zyxel 100IH Router. I'm the only one who is connected to the Routers hub. The idle timeout is set to 15 sec.
When I closing my connecting (quitting all mail/web programs) the router still keeps connecting then the Router times out and in a couple of seconds it's connects again.
It's very annoying since I pay for the time I am connected. Strange is this is not happening all the time, but sometimes it's very frequently.
Is there a way to log what's happening? Maybe some tool available in the terminal? Could it be some configuration problems with the Router? Anyone else have this problem?
Any help in this matter is appreciated

do you connect using PPPoE? Put the icon in your menu bar and manually click 'connect' and 'disconnect' each time. This should kill your connection.
No POPoE, I connect via Ethernet using DHCP.
It's most likely a config issue w/
the ISDN router.
I used to use ISDN to get office
connectivity and it had to be
config'd so that it would not
'dial on broadcast'.
There were other packet types such
as ARP (or was it RARP?) that would
cause dialing out.
You need to look at the ISDN manual.
I used an Ascend ISDN router which
offered alot of flexibility.
You probably want to use a packet
sniffer to look at what is being
put on the wire.
