The Bellsouth Wizard
For grins I put the BellSouth "wizard" CD in my laptop and scanned it. My antivirus/anti-spyware tools tagged the included utility [westellmodemtest.exe] as a 'Trojan Horse - Generic.FFJ'.This doesn't necessarily mean anything - a google search on the term turned up nothing. I suspect the tool allows someone at BellSouth a way to access the modem or computer for diagnostics. But I sure didn't see any warnings or notices that BellSouth was going to put remote access software on my computer. Hmm.
BTW no, I don't install any software from any ISP on any of my computers. When an ISP does their job correctly they don't need to put software on my machines.

scanR - Mobile Scan, Copy, Fax
More on the paperless office. scanR let's you capture documents and/or whiteboard shots with your camera phone, and then returns them to you as PDF files via e-mail or as a fax image. The company's before/after photos are impressive. You need a 1 megapixel camera to play. [via Rob May]scanR - Mobile Scan, Copy, Fax
scanR helps you capture and share documents and whiteboards. scanR uses advanced imaging technologies to convert pictures into readable PDF files and faxes. Good camera phones can take decent photos of babies, pets and sunsets, but are not designed for scanning. scanR is an innovative service that turns your camera phone into a scanner, copier and fax.
