Tnx,

But what kind of traffic is it. The reason for
asking is that I've configured my isdn connection,
to the internet, to hang up after a given amount 
of time, when there is no traffic over the link. 

So my connection is not closing, and I'm assuming
because of the VJC stuff. Where does it come from?
