Re: [PEN-TEST] Modem detection without dialing

If you have the ability to push executables onto the computers, (i.e. login script) then it would not be too difficult 
to send an AT command to all possible com ports. If you get a response back then you probably have a modem, double 
check with ATI and you should get some information on the particular modem.
