Well, yes there is. There is a scanning software out there, the name escapes
me, that can hijack a dial-up session and record keystrokes. I saw an alert
about two - three years ago. I had the paper but I can't find it, and that
would be one I'd have kept! Your best bet is to use the remote client software
provided by your firewall vendor, it's the safest way to access your trusted
network.
