[AccessD] Vonage Click-2-call

John,

I read about it at slashdot. And it really isn't all that secure
now...Just a page not linked from anywhere...Mom has to know where to go
to click the link. Of course, she could just keep a shortcut to that URL
on her desktop...Thanks for making me think about that...I think I will
ask her to do that!

I, too, thought about letting clients call me for free...How about this:

<form action='https://secure.click2callu.com/tpcc/makecall' method='POST'>
  <input type='hidden' name='username' value='YOUR USERNAME'>
  <input type='hidden' name='password' value='YOUR PASSWORD'>
  <input type='hidden' name='fromnumber' value='YOUR NUMBER'>
  Number to Dial: <input name="tonumber"><br>
  <input type="submit">
</form>

Of course, this is not too secure...what about that? Could one put those
values somewhere and just get the caller to input their phone number only,
on the form?
