When other manufacturers implemented the command set, they had to make some small changes so they could claim they hadn't *completely* ripped off the Hayes command set ... they left out the requirement for the pause. So, on lots of non-Hayes modems, you could get them to hang up by just sending that string as data (or including it as data in a ping packet).And another cool trick (implemented by the software, not the modem), was NO CARRIER at the start of a line. <click> :-) (Yes, I used to enjoy picking on DOS users, and still do.)
Yet another (and very old) one: During IRC chat session, change your nick to COM1 (or COM2,3,4, depending on which port the victim has the modem installed). Then, ask him/her to send you a private message... Used to work in mirc+Win95/98, if I remember well... cikasole _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
