My problem is this: Windows 98 generates packets all the time which = makes the BSD box dial out and stay online forever. (I only have one = phone line.) I know it's not the BSD box, because when the Win machine = isn't connected, the connection is made only when I request it. (After I = killed sendmail -q ;-) I realize that this is a Windoze problem, but I am hoping that someone = out there has discovered a solution to this.
