I can't see how this behavior would cause your modem to dial out and
initiate a connection. I can see how it would keep a connection open
when it would otherwise time out.
Why do you think it's desirable that the connection time out? Then you
won't be notified of new mail anymore. And if you don't care that new
mail is coming in, then why are you wasting ISDN money by keeping the
connection active?
I'm sorry that I don't understand your situation.
