You need to figure out why accessing Samba shares causes dialouts in the
first place.  I'm guessing it's a DNS lookup.  You can check this by doing
'set log +tcp/ip' on the PPP server, then attaching the Samba share.  PPP
should log the packet that caused the dialout.  You can then create a dial
packet filter that blocks those types of packets from causing dialouts.

Hope this helps.

Many thanks for the help!

properly.
