A malicious person may be able to hack through your CSG to find an outside dial

tone and use it for fraud. Any extensions that are known to the public should be

completely handled by the Keypress Events. Callers should not be allowed to dial

other extensions. Sticking to this policy protects your CSG from being compromised.
