A Sprint cellular modem plugs into a laptop - often the PCMCIA slot. To connect, the user opens a program called the Connection Manager. This program has a menu option to display the serial number and phone number of the modem that's currently inserted.
Does that imply that the serial/phone number of the modem could be available to other programs running on the system? (Note: let's assume this is Windows XP.)
Specifically, could a company's VPN software be configured to pass along information about which modem is being used to connect?
Finally, is there existing VPN software that already does this, or would it have to be custom-programmed?
