RE Modem identification

[Nate.King () predictive com]

I prefer PhoneSweep by Sandstorm Enterprises at http://www.sandstorm.net/. It has the capability to identify 305 
different dial-up systems by name, including ones that do not provide visible text banners.  It is a commercial 
product, however, and can be expensive.

I wrote an article for Information Security Magazine in June 2000 that compared various commercial and free war dialing 
tools (PhoneSweep, TeleSweep Secure, and THC-Scan).  The URL is 
http://www.infosecuritymag.com/articles/june00/features1.shtml.  TeleSweep Secure has probably changed the most since 
then, but hopefully it will help.

Good Luck,

Nate
