Appeared after installing new 56k modem, old modem did not have it. No idea if it is necessary but it's certainly part of modem related malarky

Only dangerous if you feel that being "online" is seriously dangerous.. If you are on dial up (dbl clicking the little phone icon on your desktop) to surf the WWW.. ending this process will TERMINATE your connection.. So terminate it if you don't want to SURF.
