Nearly any software firewall will work equally well on dial-up as on broadband -
ZoneAlarm, etc. - and I do recommend using one even with dial-up.

There are some things that might cause some traffic to occur "when you're not doing anything" - but for the most part, it shouldn't be happening.

Aloha! Richard.
