I got one the other day, but it turns out it was a buddy trying out his skills at generating UDP from a shell script. I figure if voice spam gets to be a problem I'll simply use a whitelist arrangement where some aspect of the caller is looked up in an asterisk DB. Callers in good standing get to ring the phone. Others go to a voice-menu tree that asks them to press a certain key if they are a telemarketer, or calling for a political party, or collecting for a charity. They will then get a canned message to please put us in their do not call list. All other callers are encouraged to press a different key to ring through to me. Unlike email, phone calls are interactive and sorting the robo-caller from the real people shouldn't be hard. The only thing bugging me is, is there a law that would prevent a telemarketer from lying and pressing the key for "I am not a telemarketer". -wolfgang -- Wolfgang S.
