RE: Disabling NIC whem modem is connected

["Security Related" <b_c_w_g () hotmail com>]

IF disabling the NIC when the modem is connected is
not easy to do, one could always require the user to
not have the NIC connected when using the modem. This
should be relatively easy to accomplish...simply have
part of the modem startup process/login script/etc...
try and contact an IP/host and make sure that target
is [not] available through the modem path (for example
if the modem is being used to dial into work, make
sure the target site is unavailable via the company
network)...if the client can contact the target, the
user must have an alternate data path, and the
connection via the modem should not be allowed in, so
log the user and drop the connection.

Don't know if that makes much sense or not, it does in
my head anyway ;)
