Actually, I already know what's going on on the net. These are the calls
from the Macs (displayed using tcpdump) keeping the diald-connection up:

Notice that this happens exactly every 2 minutes, and that the Mac ("agder)
the traffic originates from does not keep any programs open at the time.
Even so, it doesn't stop calling the sites (that both have been visited
earlier using Netscape) until the Mac is rebooted.

Let's hope so. I'm not very experienced in modifying diald-rules, but I
suspect that there has to be a rule that makes diald keep the connection up
based on www (port 80) requests - even though I don't want it to do so when
the requests are "stray calls" from the Macs.
