Back in the day, I had a friend who hosted CHRIS-CO BBS (his name is Chris) and he wrote a script for his VBBS6.14/VAdvanced 2.10 board that new users had to input the phone number they were calling from, and the board would disconnect them and then call that number and somehow (i don't remember the details) verify that it was a legit caller. I think you could have your dialer software open and answer an incoming call? I really don't remember I wasn't even driving back then I was a kiddo. I thought that was real neat though! He had a number of scripts written, and even wrote his own net "CHRIS-NET" that all the local boards were apart of. I don't know what ever happened to that dood. His handle was "Computer Whiz".
