I think the simple answer here is how would the attacker know at that
point if someone is dialing up, cable or DSL, to an attacker your just a
valid IP address.  Especially a worm which does not care and is only
looking for TCP/IP connection

Dude, you have to pay to look at the reports.
I was looking for some free reports.  Remember I'm just trying to prove
my
friend wrong.  I didn't expect to spend money to do that.
But thanks for the reply.

I'm looking for a chart that will give the number or percentage of
compromised or hacked systems by their connection type.  The chart
should
give a number of percentage on how many computers got hacked on
cable,
dsl,
dial-up etc....  Friend of mine seem to think that he's OK on
dial-up. I
just want to prove him wrong since he doesn't want to take my word
for
it.
I told him that it doesn't matter if you're on dial-up or not, you
can
still
get hacked or be used to spread worms.  is responce was that who
would
want
to use a dial-up when you have DSL and Cable.

thanks.
