I have a client who wants to install a V.Everything 56K Analog Corporate
Modem on their Sun Ultra 80. I was wondering if anyone has experience
with the modem and in particular connecting it to an Ultra 80. In the
specs it touts caller authorization and dial-back security features and I
would like to know how effective these are and also any redflags anyone
might have with this feature.

In general, does anyone have some other features they have implemented to
secure access to the machine via a modem? Any resources or suggestions
are appreciated.

Thanks,
Lisa
