Reduces phone charges by having the remote access server dial back to your location after you initially connect.- ok. |

Call back was mainly used to give a bit more security on dial in lines. It works by connecting, doing a login sequence, and then hanging up. The host rings back. This way, even if passwords have been cracked, the caller has to be at a phone number which is known and authorised or won't get the return call. I have an idea that MS wouldn't have provision for it ... but any commercial Unix would have it; I think you can do it in Linux. (I haven't used it, but I don't think that a special modem would be needed -- software can handle it). |

Yeah, windows can (callback), maybe not win9x, but nt4, win2k, and windowsXP can. |
