- Someone just told me that there is a way to break into a Unix box by
- dialing the modem, but not getting a login prompt, and somehow getting
- to Unix.

- The guy who told me this was somewhat confused, so I don't take much
- stock in it, yet I am asking the Net in case he has heard of a security
- issue that I have not.
