RE: fax software in the domain

["Depp, Dennis M." <deppdm () ornl gov>]

Ensure the modem is not configured to accept incoming calls.  Also don't
allow bridging or connection sharing on this pc.  I don't know if its
possible to restrict access to ISPs or not.

Subject: fax software in the domain

Hi,

Im my domain we have w2k servers and the workstations
we use xp pro.

On the station of one employee he must use also a fax
with a modem connected
to the telefhone line.

I think that this is a security problem.

I cant remove the fax from his pc .my question is what
are the steps to
protect this pc from being a security problem to all
the network ?

thanks !!
