Re: Modem Finder

["Jonathan Yu" <jonathan.i.yu () gmail com>]

Hi there,

While this is definitely possible, it wouldn't account for people that
use tethering over their phone using Bluetooth + GPRS/EV-DO/etc. The
reason for this is that the modems are only installed temporarily, and
your scan could potentially miss them.

Perhaps a better strategy would be to target the drivers themselves:
prevent people from installing drivers for their CDMA phones, etc. I
don't know if there is a feature on Windows to support this
domain-wide, but there probably is in light of some companies that
disable use of USB Mass Storage drivers to protect potential data
theft.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Jonathan Yu.
