Um, it seems I got them reversed. IPX and Appletalk. To turn them off,
put in your /etc/conf.modules
alias net-pf-5 off
This example kills Appletalk. Not sure what is trying to use appletalk,
but it's dead now, so I don't need to worry.
I then put into my diald.conf file
ignore udp udp.dest=udp.netbios-ns
ignore udp udp.dest=udp.netbios-ssn
ignore udp udp.dest=udp.netbios-dgm
ignore udp udp.source=udp.netbios-ns
ignore udp udp.source=udp.netbios-ssn
ignore udp udp.source=udp.netbios-dgm
