This was meant as added security. Basically, you dialed into an NT server. Sent the call back number... Then the server would call you back at that number. It was meant to help save on phone bills also; for example, if you where on the road and calling form a hotel. You could get the server to ring you back and not have to pay the charges. There are other senerios as well. I don't think they are in wide use today. They are just leftovers that have managed to keep themselves around for a long time. James Kosin
