I just purchased "MacaRa Modem Magic" in order to stabilize (I hope) the
performance of my internal modem (G3 iMac 400 slot loader).  So far, it
is showing improvement on the OS 9.2 version.

The program has separate installations for OS 9.2.2. and for OS 10.1.5
I haven't installed the OS X version yet because the installation
instructions call for enabling the "root" feature - this is a multiple user
function, requiring an Administrator, passwords, etc.   My major concern
with this arrangement is my belief that it will make my computer vulnerable
to hackers.

If anyone is using the root feature on OS X, I would appreciate feedback on
whether I am being overly cautious in this regard.  Will my iMac be as
secure with root enabled as before, or am I opening myself up for possible
problems?

Thanks for your input.    Larry
