6.1.1 Safety
A called modem demands a password to give access to, for
example, a data base. Extra security is obtained if the called
modem has an automatic dialback function to numbers that
already have provided the proper password. This is obtained by
selecting Mode 1.
6.1.2
Economy
The called modem dials back and thereby takes on the
expenses for transfer of data. This function is available in Mode
1 and Mode 2.
