Have you tried looking at the diald log and debug files to see what protocol is
starting the connection. The diald docs tell you how to do that. Look in
the log files for something like;
(date and time stuff) filter accepted rule xx protocol yyy (etc etc)
it will tell you which protocol was accepted (started the connection) as well
as the ip address and port number of the host that initiated the call.
You have to add the following line to diald.conf
debug 31
(that's not explained very well in the documents)
