I tried calling the numbers with my laptop and cell phone (with Caller ID turned off). Most of the lines won't connect with No Carrier, but one, I get the string " ** 01 Communications TermServ **" and a login prompt.
From the (probably customized) banner, I think you're accessing the
backdoor maintenance access of some equipment, probably a telephone switch. Many companies will install such a direct access to the on-site systems they're contracted to support so they can do remote maintenance. It might be something else, but that would be my first guess: remote maintenance for some telephone stuff. See if you can find a reference to "01 Communications" in a support contract, either as the supporting company, or the equipment supplier/reseller. -- Vincent ARCHER varcher () denyall com Tel : +33 (0)1 40 07 47 14 Fax : +33 (0)1 40 07 47 27 Deny All - 5, rue Scribe - 75009 Paris - France www.denyall.com _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
