Can I find out which application is running and sending packets? I have had
a couple of instances where low-intensity traffic is shown in GKrellM's
ppp0 window, but everything should be stopped.

They say lightning never strikes twice in the same place. My typing is
about as accurate. Apologies for any typos that slip in. - Doug.

I'd use a utility like tcpdump and take a look at those packets. Probably
just maintenance stuff by your ISP and tcp software keeping the connection
open.
