Get a firewall! If you have XPSP2 use that one, if not at least find a good free one.
when I first started using Zonealarm I saw probe after probe from hacks, finally turned off notification as I spent all my time acknowledging the attempt.

I do beleive it's something more than a spyware. You probably have a door open for someone.
You'd better get an antivirus and a firewall (eventhough I think it may be late for a firewall).
Eventually try to check your task manager to see if there's an unknown process running. Then you'll have your answer.

Remember on Dial up you have to send your User Name & Password so 70 K sounds about right to authenticate your connection to your ISP.

I think that you'll find here this is correct in that you are sending the correct Log On Data and then a handshake to make a positive connection.
