could you please clarify what you mean?
 I never heard of such things, but here is my suggestions
1. If you don't want anyone and anything to dial-in in your system
 just turn off all modems.
2. if you would want some certain users not to be allowed to dial-in,
under Unix write simple code (C perefarble...shell scripts allow
 to interrupt them sometimes with ^C). which would just check user's tty
 and if it is ttySXX (serial line) would break connection, otherwise
exec desirable shell.
Just suggestion.

Fyodor
