Re: {bb} Modem Not Answering?

[Daniel O Winkless <wink@usgs.gov>]

Hi All,

        I understand the desire NOT to have modems available for dial in.  I don't want that either.  My BB server has such a modem so that qpage can dial out to send pages.

        Our PBX allows us to define phone numbers that cannot be dialed from outside.  Our PBX number is 505-XXX-7900.  My modem's number is 505-XXX-5938, a number that might get to someone, but it won't be my office.  This means I can leave the modem on all the time and war dialing will not find it.  Well, within the PBX, someone can call it, but if they are in my PBX, they are in my LAN, so no need,

        Anyone who needs only dial-out capability should see if their phone systems can do this.  Then you don't have to monitor it.

                        Dan

leverage the work.
