With the VOIP using valuable satellite time, there is a cost to the > provider when these calls tie up the links. We have an Ooma VOIP device which connects via cablemodem. For a year we were able to block spam calls, but there were a lot of first-timers. Then we got a Sentry device, which requires first-time callers to press 0 if they're not a telemarketer. If they lied (only a few in a year) we immediately blacklist them. Friends only have to press 0 once, from then on they're whitelisted automatically. Only $50 or so. -- Cheers, Bev I'd tell you a UDP joke, but you might not get it. -- K.E. Long |

Or does it ring once for them before it rejects them? What does it do for spammers that spoof your own number to the call? |
