[comp.dcom.telecom] Another Approach to Call Back Modem Security

Re: Callback security

How about instead of 3-way calling you simply get "call forwarding" and
forward all calls to your outgoing lines to some nonexistent place (maybe
back to your incoming trunks :-).

Why not order outgoing-only service on your outgoing trunks?  It's
available in most areas, usually for only a one-time charge if it's
done with the service is installed.  Callers who dial your outgoing
trunk numbers get a telco recording, and don't even occupy your
circuits.
