One of the problems we're dealing with is lots of users want analog
phone lines at their desks. You can imagine the problems this causes. We
need to either provide an alternative to giving them modems at their
desks. The problem with outgoing calls is easier to manage than
incoming calls, but I wouldn't mind advice with both.
Here are some questions:
1. What products are there that will support outgoing calls? We have a
Windows environment. WINport from LANSource is one product, and Shiva
is another, but we don't know of much else.
2. What products are there that will support incoming calls? This is the
harder one, of course. I'm not sure it's technically feasible to support
incoming calls.
3. Is there a proxy for pcANYWHERE, Timbuktu, and other remote control
applications so that we can make sure that no one is leaving their
computer without a password? It would be good if we could make sure the
passwords are secure, too.
4. Is there any firewall product that can respond to events? For
example, if a pcANYWHERE connection came in, it would be nice to setup
different policies for the host computer to access the network. Another
event that would be nice to be able to respond to is time (for example,
allow pcANYWHERE access only during business hours, or allow access to
blocked sites only during off-hours).
5. Any general ideas about security and analog phone lines? I realize
that the most secure method is to just not allow them at all. This isn't
going to fly, though.
Thanks!
