Yeah I suppose.
Rather than hardcode it in the software, it should query a text file like
"badphone.txt" or something.
But I have a hard time believing anybody takes BBS phone numbers seriously
these days. Replacing it with maybe an IP or home page would make more sense.
As for call-back verifiers (CBV), that should be handled by the CBV software
because Maximus has no internal CBV.
