I pointed that out specifically for you Kyle. While I agree with you, my
"spidey senses" tingle at the thought of revealing what someone has dialed
in "human speak:...". Having been one to speak to customers toll fraud back
in my carrier telecom days...

In my tests, I placed a DID number on the alias for AC (Authorization Code)
feature. Something a little in between like "Enter Code" and "Thank you,
please wait" might be acceptable. I just think about toll-fraud...

Which reminds me to yank that DID off of that system. So the default is
*...@sipdomain, which also means it can be used as a sip uri. So that makes
me suggesting to people that the default is too well known and to change it
if they see a lot of traffic to that uri from the internet and it is not
warranted, because now a simple pin being broken with a script can open
yourself up for toll fraud... I'm not picking, just pointing out the
obvious.

I know people wanted this feature, but shouldn't there should be a way to
protect it? An alarm that sends an email if there are numerous improper
attempts in a short time period. Once it is installed, there is no way to
disable the service, only to uninstall the package. It's not selectable as a
role, and maybe it shouldn't be a role, but maybe you should be able to
disable it whether it is installed or not.

So if you use it, consider changing the default code from *81 to something a
little less obvious. Sometimes a little obscurity is OK.

All this "spidey sense" stuff has made me want to go stare at my "Red Hulk"
comic book for a while...
