No dial-tone in system startup

I have a dial-up ISDN connection (Speedtouch modem). When starting up the
system my modem initialises, and after some seconds, starts to flikker its
right LED. Then comes the user-login, which I enter as an administrator. My
modem goes on flikkering, but when I ask to start the dial-up, is says: "no
dial tone". When I wait a twenty minutes, it all stops by itselves flikkering
and returns into a stable LED. Starting up the dial-up is OK, I don't have
any troubles the long of the session.
I suspect that there is a program, routine (no virus I hope) that executes
'something' and waits for a reply or something else. As it happens before the
user-login, I cannot see what is executing at the startup, which programs or
routines. After the startup, when I check everything is OK, but my modem
still doesn't detect any dial-tone as he says, although there is one. The
task-manager does show any active application, the performance is in
IDLE-state.
Is there any way to check what is executed at start-up time, and before
luser login?
As I staed before, this problem disappear by itself after a variable number
of minutes.
