>Description:
I have ppp-NT operational, with shared access between about 6 computers
variously running BSD, Win95 and Linux. It works fine with aliasing etc.
I also have Bind8 running, with the namedb.root file changed to enable
and disable real DNS during peak phone bill time like in the info page. 
There are no problems with these things. 

The problem is that ppp dials every three minutes or so, even when
no other machines are powered.

I have disabled all dial filters (one at a time, and all
at once) and the problem remains.

I would like to stop this behaviour, as I wish to recieve incoming
calls to mgetty on the same modem.

Also, I suspect ppp does not honour cuaaX..LCK files as claimed.
I have written routines to set and clear lock files, and ppp
appears to use the modem in spite of the lock.
>How-To-Repeat:
AFAICT, ppp always does this. (I have tried 3 different modems)
my call is
# ppp -auto screaming

and my ppp.conf contains
==================
set device cuaa1
set speed 38400
disable lqr
deny lpr
set redial 2 4
set timeout 300
freeserve:
 set phone 0845-353-0121
 set openmode active 
 accept pap
 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0
 add! 10.0.0.2
#
 set filter alive 0 deny icmp
 set filter alive 1 deny udp src eq 53
 set filter alive 2 deny udp dst eq 53
 set filter alive 3 deny udp dst eq 520
 set filter alive 4 deny udp dst eq 520
 set filter alive 5 permit 0/0 0/0
#
 set filter dial 0 permit 0/0 0/0
 set filter dial 1 permit udp src eq 53
 set filter dial 2 permit tcp src eq 53
 set filter dial 3 permit udp src eq 69
 set filter dial 4 permit tcp src eq 69
 set filter dial 5 permit udp src eq 110
 set filter dial 6 permit tcp src eq 110

# there are some in and out filters too
