I don't know any "real" company (as opposed to small consultants and home workers) that would screen calls that way (as in, not pick up). Those without staff to pick up every call have answering machines/services/voice mail, etc. And those that choose to let a call go to voice mail usually at least listen to them. Only if they leave a message and you don't call back or if they can't "connect" (no answer, weird phone co messages about how they don't like verizon customers, since telemarketers have been known to live in their vicinities, etc) do they tend to just go away without you knowing there was a problem. --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
