I do this, but without any white or black lists, and it works great. The greeting says "press one for <my wife>, or two for <me>". That alone is enough to knock out virtually all the spammers (99% of them are robo-calls these days). Once 1 or 2 is pressed, the phones in the house will ring with a different ring code for each, and if there's no answer, the call goes to separate voice mail boxes for my wife and myself. Works great. That alone was worth the effort to install asterisk. Now, the cost of the telephony card, that's a different story. Never before have I had a PCI card that costs more than the rest of the machine combined. So I really wouldn't have done this if it weren't such a cool geek project :-) --Greg -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
