Who is trying to phone home and how can I stop this?
No idea. Take a packet trace and see there the traffic is going.

There were several threads here on the list how to find out whether the
machine will start to dial when trying to connect. It seems that MacOS X
itself doesn't obey the rules.
Well, to focus on the programming aspects of this, there isn't a lot
an application developer can do. The following is a quote from DTS
Technote 1145 "Living in a Dynamic TCP/IP Environment".

Finally, it's worth noting that the techniques discussed below only
work if the modem is directly connected to the computer. If the
computer's connectivity in indirectly run through a modem
(for example, the computer is on a home AirPort network and the
AirPort Base Station connects to the Internet via its modem), there
is very little you can do to avoid nuisance calls.
