Well, I still have the old dial up modem in my pc, I am covered with the
security stuff and, sadly, I can't see the porn (smile), so I'll give it a
try.
Thanks
Barry

Hi Barry. it should not be a security risk if you are careful. most decent
antivirus and antispyware software can detect rogue dialers and if your
hearing is OK or you have some vision you will be able to tell if something
is trying to dial out.
I have always had a dial-up modem for faxing and have never had a problem
with rogue dialers being installed though of course it can happen,
particulaly if you are partial to a bit of porn.

Thanks, Peter. I will give it a miss. I was only trying to make my life a
little easier, but it's not a major issue.

You can't unless you have an old type dial-up modem connected. If so then
perhaps yes. There used to be a piece of software out there called Prima
Dialer Pro which sent a dial tone to your desktop speakers. You simply held
the reciever up to the speakers, then hit autodial within the software to
get connected. I've been waiting for years for a Jaws scripter to achieve an
audio dialer of some sort, but it just hasn't happened.
PS. Connecting a dial-up modem as well as a high speed modem to your
desktop, simply for the sake of achieving an audio tone through your
speakers can be a serious security risk.
