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.

I'd tell you a UDP joke, but you might not get it.

Does that Sentry device stop unwanted calls from ringing at all? 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?
