Poser opens TCP ports so that it can listen to extenal entities trying to talk
with it (debuggers, scripts, etc). Opening a port is enough to cause PPP (on
either Mac or Windows) to try to connect. To avoid this, follow the advice from
the release notes:
* Setting "DebuggerSocketPort" or "RPCSocketPort" preferences to zero
will disable their respective facilities. This should be handy in
cases where merely opening a TCP socket fires up any sort of
unwanted Remote Access facilites. [Ken Krugler]

Subject: POSE 3.0a3 dials modem?
Palm OS Emulator 3.0a3 for MacOS trys to modem dial a PPP
network connection every time I launch it on my G3.
This is with the Palm V debug ROM, the old preferences trashed,
the POSE Serial Port preference set to "None", and the Redirect
NetLib checkbox unchecked (I tried launching with many other
combinations, same result). What gives? Is this some weird
virus or debug snoop?
Since my serial port is connected to a switcbox sharing
a Palm V cradle, a modem, a serial printer, and a MIDI
translator box; attempting to dial a modem sometimes has
unpleasant results.
