Re: [LOSURS: q&a] Faxing Exploits?

Just that mgetty sets up to discriminate modem vs. fax calls by default. Fax
calls get the fax machine, modem calls get a login: prompt. That latter should
be ok, but it's like placing a terminal login in front of the entire world. If
you're not going to use it, disable it.
