I'm running ijppp with the autodial option on the FreeBSD box. All was well with this setup until I modified the Win95 box to use a machine on the other side of my PPP link as a nameserver. (Previously, the Win95 box was using the FreeBSD box as a nameserver.) As soon as I made this change, the FreeBSD box started dialing at irregular intervals for no apparent reason. I ran tcpdump on the tun interface and discovered that the Win95 box was sending a lot of netbios traffic to the remote nameserver. Changing the nameserver back to my FreeBSD box has halted this problem. I'll bet that NT is as chatty as Win95.
