>From the Cisco Docs CD:

"With this feature [OPSF demand-circuit], periodic hellos are suppressed and
the periodic refreshes of LSAs are not flooded over the demand circuit.
These packets bring up the link only when they are exchanged for the first
time, or when a change occurs in the information they contain. This
operation allows the underlying datalink layer to be closed when the network
topology is stable."

I ran into similar problems with this topic some time ago, and also
experimented with the denial of OSPF using the dialer-list. However, I have
this feature working presently in my lab with a "wide-open" dialer list, and
the ISDN circuit is quiet as a mouse -- and does activate with a ping
between the two routers.

Experiment and I think you'll find that it does indeed supress the hello's &
LSA's.
