stop UDP from bringing up SLIP?

I'm using Mamakos' 920802 version of Dialupip to connect to campus through  
a Cisco ASM/3.  (So my default route points to this link.)  I'd like to  
stop SBook from bringing up the link, so I tried removing the word "udp"  
from the "protocols" line of my ".access" file. I thought this would  
suffice.  But now authough when I launch SBook a message like:
Aug  7 18:23:09 sqhilton tcldiald[115]: Unauthorized protocol UDP (17)
is logged via the syslog facility, as I expect, subsequent attempts to  
open TCP connections seem not to bring up the link automatically; instead,  
I have to use the duioctl to bring it up by hand. 

Would anyone who has succeeded in something like this be willing to share  
the secret?  What have I misunderstood about the access file?  Thanks.

PS: I'm not trying to outwit SBook's licensing scheme; it's just  
unreasonable to tie up a port on our Cisco whenever I run it.
