One thing you certainly can do is to create a new Location with no network connections, and use that as your main Location; then when you wake it up or restart it it won't connect to anything because it will think it has no connection to anything. When you want to connect - say, to send email - just change Locations. Of course, this also prevents you from using an internal network so this may not be the answer.
I had ISDN for about 3 years before switching to broadband at the beginning of this year. Broadband is both faster and cheaper, in my experience.

I use an iBook running OS X 10.1.5 and I recently got in an ISDN line for Internet access. I am using a WebRamp ISDN router (yes I know they went out of business) and everything appeared to be fine until I got my phone bill. It said I connected on average 38 times per day for the month.
I have been monitoring the connections and it appears every time the iBook wakes from sleep, or restarts it connects to the Internet. Also if I leave mail windows open with my email application (Eudora - sponsored) in the foreground it re-connects.
Is there any way to prevent this so that it only connects to the Internet when I want it to.
Things were a lot cheaper albeit slower with analogue.
