RE: Modem dials without reason

Hi Paul,

cron jobs are ok. The only one running from that you mentioned is exim. And it
should only run every 53 minutes:
# 53 *     * * *     mail   if [ -x /usr/sbin/exim ]; then /usr/sbin/exim -q >/dev/null 2>&1; fi

I commented it out (as shown), but dialing goes on. In the manpages it says, that I won't
have to restart cron after shanging jobs. So it should have worked. 

The logfile stats 
Jan  4 14:56:43 coma diald[169]: Trigger: udp       192.168.0.1/138      192.168.0.255/138
before modem is dialing, but not always.
This port I found in services:
netbios-dgm     138/tcp                         # NETBIOS Datagram Service
netbios-dgm     138/udp

If this is a hint, who is using this port ?

Regards
Klaus.

You might just try looking at cron jobs. IIRC, one of the mail agents
attempts
mail retrieval every five minutes as a default.
