Default Telephony & Remote Access Connection Manager (services) - are they needed?

Why exactly would an XP system need to be running:

- Telephony service

- Remote Access Connection Manager service

???


As Mayayana pointed out, unless you are using dial-up (or VOIP),
telephony can be disabled. I'm on cable also, and it is disabled on
mine (has been for a while).


Does Skype (and similar such services) use it?

Unless you plan on allowing Remote Access to your PC, or remote into
someone else's PC, you can also disable RACM. (also disabled on mine)


Similar question - do TeamViewer and the like use that, or only
Microsoft's own remote-access utilities?
