Run your own drag race and see. Would be curious to see results of this, too. I looked @ wardialers about a month back went with TeleSweep. Be sure to check out compatible & suggested modem lists from a product before choosing. I went with a suggested 6 modem internal PCI card - physical footprint and wiring logistics for 6 modems didn't sound fun nor did messing with a PRI & Ascend Max. 6 lines @ 50 seconds/call ~= 450 call/hr or 10k in 3 evenings. Performance junkies: larger weapons available at: http://www.empirix.com/empirix/voice+network+test/products/telephony+performance+test.html Some bad points about Telesweep: Missed an AS/400. Someone else said this was 3270/3278 emulation which Telesweep doesn't have a signature for (?). It dropped a few numbers in a simple 1000 number range (always check your results!) Some good points for Telesweep: Pretty inexpensive - $1k software + $700 hardware. I can't imagine most of us needing a distributed, enterprise enabled, ODBC backended, client server _war dialer_. //* ObHacker: Pick any 6 unix utilities and write a complete war-dialer. ObHacker++: Try to reduce the total number of letters in the 6 commands to less than 20. *// Simple (good) reports. HTML tables were handy for some things but I mostly just used the .CSV which is generated at scan time. Also very handy were the transaction logs - ASCII & hex dump of all modem calls. In a few cases just by reading this I was able to identify systems pretty easily without actually dialing them again. -b ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus Security Intelligence Alert (SIA) Service.
