Some isps install a phone-home programlet that does nothing but phone home and monitor traffic over the connection. I'm betting that's what you're seeing. There's an easy way to check it. In win2000 or NT or XP open the Task manager and do a google search on all running processes you don't recognize. In win 98 you can run msconfig and check the startup items. I believe there is also an msconfig mimicer that you can download for winXP/2000.
