        On a more proactive stance, I'd like to see a Best Common Practice for how a service provider configures its management network. We've all seen those USR modems stuffed in ISP racks for "out-of-band" management which are likely connected to POTS lines anyone could call if they knew the "secret" phone number.
USR Couriers can have passwords of their own, call-back, and those things still work when data network is down. Rubens Kuhl Jr.
