 Are there any websites where, like anti-virus

To my knowlwdge no spyware exists for this platform. Look elsewhere for a
solution to your problem.
Agreed.  It's not impossible, but it's unlikely.

More likely is that you still have a program running that wants a 
TCP/IP connection active.  Whenever it tries to connect to its 
service (web browser connecting to a web server, say - or Hotline 
client to Hotline server, etc), it will prompt OpenTransport to start 
a new connection by dialing the modem.

Try quitting all Internet related programs before disconnecting the modem.

Peace,
Drew
