You obviously can't think very well, can you? Please don't assume something
like this, especially when there is a good reason.
If you really want to know, the reason is that I have a 1-800 number dial up
point for people to easily signup for an ISP service. I would rather keep
this 1-800 number a secret to help avoid abuse.
The user knows that the modem is dialing, I would just like to keep the
1-800 number dialed from the user.
