I have a Dlink 704P that includes a shared parallel and serial port. If he was using an external modem connected with serial, he could use that device to create a firewall on dial-up. Finding such a device for an internal modem will probably not be possible, he would need a standalone box to install the modem into. -- Bryan Phinney Software Test Engineer
