I heard a rumor recently that some dialback modems are manufactured with a "backdoor" password that can't be disabled, which gives an outsider rather complete access to the modem. So check out your manufacturer closely. Evidently modem design/manufacturing skills are independent of good sense where security is concerned. I'm sorry I don't have more detailed information. If the rumor is true, the perpetrator certainly deserves to lose. Rick. smith@sctc.com Arden Hills, Minnesota
