Yes Sean, you are open to being hacked, BUT... and that's a big but....
if you are using a dial up account, then the chances of it happening are
incredibly small.
The two main reasons that is almost impossible are:
1. The hacker would need to know when you are on line. AND
2. The hacker would need to know the full IP address you are using and this
changes each time you dial in.

Now there are certain programs like Back Orifice and the new Orifice 2000
which can attack your system and allow someone access.  But as long as you
use adequate virus protection and -most importantly- common sense (don't
open email attachments from strangers) you can prevent them from getting
into your system.
