Sounds like sth. trys to make a DNS-Lookup. E.g. Netscape or Sendmail or sth. like this. You can try to find this out with iptraf, it logs your ip traffic, maybe you see who is trying to make this lookup causes the dialout. Another way, search at linuxhelp.com or sdb.suse.de (yeah, I know, not Debian, but it helps also sometimes) for a help to a topic like "Why is my pc making internet connects although I don't want him to" or similar. There you get other programs that causes DNS Lookups sometimes Hanno
