Russ, I haven't activated Fax Transport on this system. Is there any chance
that this problem could be caused by the Outlook.pst file? If so, would it
be repairable with the scanpst.exe utility?

There's nothing in the PST itself that would cause Outlook to initiate a
send/receive at any time, let alone every minute. That said, a scanpst run
periodically can't hurt for maintenance purposes.
