At that point, the whole issue became moot and the production of modems that didn't require a pause after the "+++" stopped. Today, it's rare to find a modem that responds to the attack unless there happens to be a long pause in the data stream after the "+++". Most ISPs program their modems to ignore the "+++" sequence,
I have a Diamond SupraExpress 56k modem (purchased a month ago) which dials an Erol's account. I tried the exploit posted by Max Schau, and it worked first try. Also, it occurs to me that this vulnerability could possibly be used to make the person's modem hang up and dial 911. :-) -Pete
