Troubling phone calls

[Nico Garcia]

Reply To: comp.dcom.modems

Checking our dialup lines for security problems, I've noticed that *someone*
keeps calling us as uucp, something like 40 times a day.  We haven't been a
uucp site for 3 years, at least, probably longer, and the old password is
locked on our machine. The entries for half a day are shown below. Should I
ignore this, or set some kind of trap, or call the phone company and have
them trace the line, or what?
