Thank you for a very clear discussion of a potentially dangerous point.

It sounds like the best solution is to:
1.  Have a dial-in line separate from the dial-out line
2.  Have the phone company forward all incoming calls to the dail-out 
    line to another place; either to a human or to the dial-in line.

This should cover almost everything except if somebody can bypass/fool
the phone company computer.
