according to my modem log
last night my computer dialed something 2x once at 3am and
again at 7am;
read 53 bytes the first time and 65 the 2nd. No writes.

I live alone except for the cats and dogs and none of them
have any passwords.
regular phone dialup line. no seperate computer phone. I know
it was offline when I went to bed.

Do I have a virus or worm sending out data?
