If someone wants to make a rainbow table of every POTS number and
automatically try them against our access system, they should be
welcomed into the space with open arms... You might also limit the
system to 1 attempt every 15 seconds. Someone will certainly come
along and open the gate for said attacker before that approach pans
out. <br>

Agreed. If you're going this route, just store it as a SQLite
