Hi - I have an information gathering device with a modem attached that is at a remote location. This modem periodically dials into a second modem at another location to download it's info. Either end can initiate this connection. This is an automatic process, triggered by random events. My question - is there a way to secure this dialup connection? Is there a way to ensure that these 2 telephone numbers (modems) are the only ones that are allowed to connect to each other? The modems are standard, off the shelf, US Robotics models.....
 
What operating systems are you running on each end?

Please always take the time to backup any and all data before performing any actions suggested for ANY problem, regardless of how minor a change it might seem. Also test the backup to make sure it is intact.
