Our remote office uses a 3Com Office Connect Remote 511 ISDN Router to connect to our main office LAN. The main LAN runs NT4. The remote offices used Win98 pc's which dialled and connected only when network resources were required. However since replacing the old pc's with Dell Optiplex GX50's running Windows 2000, the ISDN appears to dial out on a regular basis every few minutes or so and then drops if there's no network activity. I guess the W2K pc's are sending some sort of Keep Alives which force the router to make the connection but I have no idea where to start looking for such a config setting nor how to change it back to it's original settings. Needless to say, the predessor who set it all up originally, left no notes, manuals etc etc.

I'd be very grateful for any help as our telephone bill is starting to mount up.
