ADLS routuer dialling problem !!

[EA2BA]

Hi all,

Here is a good question for you.

Can an ADSL router dial phone numbers itself unattended when it wants to.

I have a friend whose ADSL router is suspected of dailling a 019***** (number appears to be a modem) on the 19th and 20th of each month, the router is on 24/7 and the computer was 100% off during these unexpected numbers.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

An ADSL router shouldnt be dialing any number unless it has ANALOUGE failover.

you should only need


Username@blah.net.au
password

authentication method. PPPoE or PPPoA

VCI 35
MUX 8

depending on the modem it should have an option to set it as maintain connection instead of when needed.

what do you have
