Checkout Sandtrap from http://www.sandstorm.net/ .  We're going to be taking
a hard look at it at my company.  Basicly claims to be Honeypot-type of
software for wardialing.

Subject: detecting wardialing


Is anyone aware of a PBX or software that can detect wardialing attempts?
I'm thinking of something that detects fax or modem tones in a series of
calls within a certain window of time. I understand the phone company does
some detection of this kind of activity, but I'm wondering if there is any
way to stop unwanted phone sweeps.
