Dave,
Callback is not considered anywhere as secure as a secure card. When
call forwarding became available, it kinda defeated the security of a
callback modem.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Hi all. I had heard once of something called 'callback'. Could you tell
me (first of all if this message belongs here) if I can dial a modem, and
have it call me back, and my machine answer?
I would like to implement this, instead of SecureID or similar.
Thanks,
Dave Wreski
