I'm interested in info on call back modems also.  Specifically,
how much does one give up in using them, in terms of "technology lag"
and price-preformance.  My impression is that they aren't commodity
products yet.  Can you get MNP, v32 and telebit versions?  Are
there management tools for controlling and updating a bunch of them
for a lot of users?

How much do they really enhance security?  Do any of them have 
their own security problems?  Is there some other technology we
should be considering to address our dial up security concerns?

I haven't followed this group regularly in the past, and I bet
this is a topic which is raised two or three times a year.  If
so, please accept my apologies (and thanx if you respond anyway).
