- kevindication 16y agoWe used to do this when managing unreachable firewalls. Dial out to the modem attached to the firewall console and type in that modem's password. The remote modem drops our call, then dials us back with a console login prompt. So even if you had the password, you had to at least be dialing in from our phone line.
