I use an iBook running OS X 10.1.5 and I recently got in an ISDN line for Internet access. I am using a WebRamp ISDN router (yes I know they went out of business) and everything appeared to be fine until I got my phone bill. It said I connected on average 38 times per day for the month.
I have been monitoring the connections and it appears every time the iBook wakes from sleep, or restarts it connects to the Internet. Also if I leave mail windows open with my email application (Eudora - sponsored) in the foreground it re-connects.
Is there any way to prevent this so that it only connects to the Internet when I want it to.
Things were a lot cheaper albeit slower with analogue.
One of the major culprits for this kind of action is the automatic time sync in OS 9.x and 10.x. It sends out a request to time.apple.com every time the machine wakes from sleep, every time it is rebooted and every 2 hours of normal uptime.
