Hey guys,

Lately, we've been doing a Wardial on our network.  We found some odd
results that weren't identified by PhoneSweep.  So I dialed in with
HyperTerminal and got a lot of "garbage".  I sent a series of "a"'s (I
held down the a button for awhile) and more stuff showed up.

I attached a capture of the session, just in case that helps.  I think
the "FF"'s near the top were what was being echoed back when I was
holding "a".

Is there some obvious setting to change?  Or is there a better program
to dial in with?  I'm guessing that something is off, but I'm not
familiar with using dialup modems.

Thanks,
Ron

It looks like the Databits/Parity/Stopbits are off. I'm guessing your modem is 
set to use the regular 8N1 setting, and the other end is not. Unfortunately 
it has been too long ago for me to remember other standard settings.
