Is this an ad for Facebook? 2nd attempt to pot

did I miss something? nomention there.

Our Direct TV cable has NO internet access.

Ours does. It's how it does its PPV billing thing. Surprised me because I didn't have enough power (or space) planned for the media distribution panel. Needed two more outlets for DirectTV.

Like how many people have a dialup modem connected these days?

Yoh! This one here!

Saved me three times, as I watched virii/malware 'try' something, simply ripped the connection BEFORE anything significant happened. May hav been false alrams, may not have been. Either way, Win98 and dial up has its moments.

THAT's EXACTLY what caught my eye too. Why all those 'geeky' modem calls? UNLESS some type of ad.

*if* it's an ad for Facebook, it is typical of all the new internet 'something' ads I've seen. They contain techno garble; tout something important, but nothing there is important; and leave me asking, "What exactly ARE they selling/advertising?" Our economy is REALLY in trouble when the ads can't even get their points across!

Looks like it's trying to use your modem to call Vietnam (country code 84). Art

Yup, If you buy a PPV, it will call home in the middle of the night to update the purchase. I guess if you never connect after a PPV purchase then it may shutdown and lock you out. Never tried it.

Cheers

And it got a "CONNECT" response? Oh boy!

Has Direct TV got a linux virus broadcasting to every receiver picking up their sat signal?

The attackers's political message about a coming revolution is interesting considering their attempted phone call.

Or plain old long distance call fraud? I don't remember entire modem AT command set, perhaps they silence the modem before dropping the line then making the dial out (ATDT...)?

Direct and simple rip offs via phone bill?

Grant.

he doesn't say anything to suggest that happened...

Didn't you catch this line which included a smartmodem response?

In the old AT command set CONNECT is a "verbose" RESPONSE from the smartmodem indicating that phone number answered and the carriers locked.

If whoever was trying to call VN mistakenly thought you could use that in a dial string, and commanded CONNECT in a dial string it would elicit an ERROR response. QED it was a response indicating the carriers locked.

That's wishfull thinking.

in context:

That's a chat script

it says initialise the modem and then dial 0845080100 and expect a "CONNECT" response there's no evidence it was ever run.
