Keywords: Callback not always safe


 There are ways around callback units, not all of which require diddling
with wires on the part of you or the phone company. Since I'm not in the
business of making techniques public I won't.

 NEVER trust a piece of hardware with all your security. They can be difficult
to crack but once cracked, the system is too open. Some callback units aren't
even difficult.
