fax on xp pro in the domain

[sancho]

Hi,

Im my domain we have w2k servers and the workstations we use xp pro.

On the station of one employee he must use also a fax with a modem connected
to the telefhone line.

I think that this is a security problem.

I cant remove the fax from his pc .my question is what are the steps to
protect this pc from being a security problem to all the network ?

thanks !!

I am worried that a hacker could enter the network from the modem that is
connected to this telephone line.

If you don't enable inbound connections, they can't....
