[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk@Home Question

[Tony Davidson]

I'd think about using a prefix for each trunk as a form of password.  At 
home I have to dial "1" then the number to use one of my trunks, or "2" 
then the number for a different trunk.  If you gave them a code of say 
666 they would have to dial that then the number.  If you had a code for 
your trunk they wouldn't be able to use your trunk unless they knew the 
code.

Probably more elegant solutions but just a quick suggestion.
