I'm talking more about hackers. There is LESS chance of being probed on an unsecured dial-up connection than there is on a secured DSL/Cable connection. Why? Because Dial-Up is in a completely different range than that of DSL/Cable. Hackers won't waste time trying to bring down a dial-up connection that doesn't stay connected for long. -- "You have no idea what I am capable of.

johndoe234 @starstream.net	Not really. I know plenty of people who got hit by worms like blaster who were using dial up. It may offer a slight security advantage over having a computer directly connected to the Internet over broadband, but it is by no means safer than being behind a router.
