OK,

A call back number is a number you want the modem you are calling to
call you back on.  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.
