Re[2]: Secure Faxing

[Doug.Marzano () ing-barings com (Doug Marzano)]

     I know this is off the subject, but does anybody know of a product 
     that allows Secure Faxing. I'm not real comfortable with the idea of 
     users hanging modems off their desk and circumventing the firewall

Port 137 is used by Windows machines as part of their name 
resolution.  This may occur anytime your firewall's external address 
communicates with a windows machine.
     
If you are logging emails, web access, ftp, telnet, etc, see if you 
can match the inbound 137 attempts to addresses in the other logs 
at about the same time.
