For some reason I can't pull up the full advisory at the moment to re-read
it. Would it not be possible for another dial up user on the same ISP to do
the same thing as a cable modem user and change the route? At home, I'm on
a cable modem so the issue concerned me momentarily until reading that NT
4.0 was not affected. What stops another modem user on the same subnet from
being able to perpetrate a change of routing? Thanks.
