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). 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)


On my WinXP sp3 box, Both RACM and Remote Access Auto Connection Manager
depend on the Telephony service.
