I deal with it very simply. My dialplan routes any non->= 10 digit CID, or a 10-digit CID that doesn't conform to NXXNXXXXXX, directly to voicemail. I don't even hear it ring. In fact, the only reason I allow > 10 digits is because my wife has family overseas. Similarly, calls go directly to voicemail during our dinner time unless it's a whitelisted number (family). I'm sick of goddamned charities/telemarketers/pollsters calling during the time we eat. I've registered my number with the do not call registry, but they exempt so many types of calls that it's useless. I've also registered with ioptout.ca; we'll see how effective they are. It's reasons like this that I love Asterisk; I take control back over my telephone. Same with MythTV; I take back control over my entertainment. -A. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
