They are ^&*(())@#$#$% Mulitcast packets. They cost me a day of poking and
prodingn Oct of 97 according to the comments in my /etc/services. The following
should help. I do not remember where I got all of this information but I know
most of it came from this list.
Add this to your /etc/services
su-mit-tg 89/tcp # SU/MIT Telnet Gateway
su-mit-tg 89/udp # SU/MIT Telnet Gateway
Add this to your diald.filter
# Ignore anything with a protocol type of 89 mtd 24 Oct 97
ignore multicast any
Add this to your diald.defs
# This was added to define ospf packets so that we can detect them and
# ignore them. These packets were being transmitted by my ISP every
# 10 seconds. They were being caught by the any rule which gave them a life
# of 30 seconds. As a result the link would never come down. mtd 24 Oct 97
prule multicast ospf 9:12:13:14:15:16:17:18:19:9:9:9:9:9:9:9
Hope this helps
