Hello Harish,
You can always try the reverse approach. Since it appears you are in a large
company, chances are you're using a PBX. The folks who manage that can tell you
exactly who has analog lines (most PBX phones are digital) Modems cannot dial out
over digital (PBX) lines. Typically one of two things happen, the port on the line
card disables or the modem in the computer fries.
Check with your Telco folks and they can get you started in the right
direction, or at least they can help narrow that possible number of systems to check.
In my experience ( I do both network and telco work) very few people have analog lines
anymore. There is rarely a good business case for one in an office or cube.
HTH,
Paul

Subject: Modems detection/ patches implementation
Hi ,
I have two questions related to security,
1. Is there any way to find out the machines having
modems connected to them in a LAN. I wanted to find
out the unauthorized modems connected to workstation
(Win 95, 98, NT 4, W2K, macs, Sun WS)and servers etc.
I heard about some software which dials the range of
phone no.s and checks for modem, but it's not
practicle in our environment.
2. Is there any good software distribution tool
especially for distributing OS/application patches and
small softwares. This is required as an emergency tool
in case existing Tivoli tool fails becasue of some
breakdown. This tool should not be very expenssive and
should cater upto 2500 machines.
Thanks in advance for help.
Bye.
Harish
