Further to my previous post, I have discovered the cause of the connections, but do not know how to stop them. I set isdnctrl to give me a more verbose log and on doing dmesg | xless I could see the following immediately before every auto connection:
OPEN: 62.136.66.48 -> 192.168.1.10 UDP, port: 513 -> 513 On consulting /etc/sevices I can see that port 513 is used for whod. OK. Progress, but what is whod and do I need it? I have looked at the docs and man page, but am none the wiser. I do not have a network - my machine is standalone apart from an ISDN connection to the Internet using an internal ISDN card.
