[AccessD] Vonage Click-2-call

Well I tried this and got "101:Number you are trying to dial from is
invalid".  I know the authentication is valid because I get a message to
that effect if my username or password is wrong.

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?
