Tracking modem activities.

[jax]

Hi,

I am working on program which would enable me to 'monitor' the activites of a particular user. My monitoring includes modem activities.

Is there a way to track the activities of a modem, as in what numbers were dialed, amount of data sent/received and ....etc.

To my knowledge, if a modem is already connected to the internet or being used by another program to 'do things', it would be impossible for another program to interfere in the same modem's activities, which also prevent the modem from being monitored.

Pls correct and advise, thanks in advance.

You are correct. The only exception is if you are in kernel mode, and there is an extra driver installed in the device masthead.

The extra drive can send information that goes to the modem somewhere else.

Go to www.sysinternals.com Look up PsTools or some of their other system tools. They allow you to monitor i/o operations, so you can see what they do - source is available.
