    David,
    
    Make sure remote access is disabled.
    Make sure your not allowed to make outgoing calls from your voice mail box.
    Call your local phone company or service provider (whomever you have the DID
    numbers and phone service through) they can trace where this is coming from
    and they have a security department of their own.
    any modems connected to lines?  they are probably war dialing against you
    two way trunks too, if they are war dialing.
    (disabling trunk to trunk connections was key)

    My company's PBX system (Nortel Meridien) is getting hammered. All our  DIDs
    are getting hit. Aside from disabling trunk to trunk, what could I do  to
    help mitigate this problem. Another office last year was hit and  through
    the voice mail system someone was able to make $25,000 worth of  calls in a
    day. This was another system though. Any help is much appreciated.
