I setup a simple ppp filter in ppp.conf to deny it access to the dialer when I telnet into the server and it won't let me use telnet until its dialed in.... Another one why is my system always dialing out even when its the only computer on and nobody is using it...I have set a filter to deny ICMPs from triggering the dialer...
