How is one to avoid this? I don't think that having a "special" phone line or discontinuing your long distance service is a rational fix to avoid this type of attack on your PC. - just my opinion.

Then long distance calls can only be made via the card.You can still receive long distance calls.The card is probably cheaper than the long distance company too.
