Hi guys,

I figured it out.

Stupidly, I forgot to clear the bgp session between R4 and R5.

After cleraing the sesson, all was well in bgp land. See below:

Rack1R4#sh ip bgp nei 150.1.5.5
BGP neighbor is 150.1.5.5, remote AS 200, internal link
  BGP version 4, remote router ID 150.1.5.5
  BGP state = Established, up for 00:01:03
  Last read 00:01:03, hold time is 0, keepalive interval is 0 seconds <--
Yea, finally I got bgp to shut-up
  Configured hold time is 0, keepalive interval is 0 seconds
  Neighbor capabilities:
    Route refresh: advertised and received(old & new)
    Address family IPv4 Unicast: advertised and received

#################################################
In case any of you are wondering why I was trying so hard to get BGP

to shut up, it was because I'm running bgp over an isdn link and wanted

to prevent bgp from bringing up the link.

I also discovered that I can control which side of bgp peering initiate the
peering.

(Yeah, I know this isn't real world, but then, again, neither is the lab.)

Anyway, I used an inbound acl on one side of the isdn link which filters on
port 179.

Now, only this side with the acl can initiate the bgp peering.

OK, I hope my pain and frustration helps those of you beefing up on BGP.

Thanks, Tim
