What can I do to source trace and possibly prevent my modem from dialing up either at Start Up or sometime during the course of the day while the computer is on?

Use something like Zonealarm that will give you program access attempt log files. zonelabs.com
You can use it to disable all internet activity when you are not at home.

Disable "Dial whenever a connection is not present", set your dialup connection to other than default, or install a phone line switch or unplug the phone line when you're not home.
