[Editor's Note (Schmidt): There are a lot of best practices around VoIP
security as well as some good work done by the VoIP Security Alliance
(http://www.voipsa.org/). Implementing best practices can make this a
non issue. Don't forget the client side, though.  Normal client side
vulnerabilities can create similar problems. ]
