Why not have the university number include a call feature that requires the caller to press a certain key on their phone to get through to the cell number?

Now with cell phones, voip etc you have the 24x7 fun of getting a phone call on the floating On Call Emergency Sysadmin Phone saying, "You too can lower your mortgage payment." Love those at midnight... Call screening by caller id doesn't cut it anymore. Caller bots now call the university number that gets forwarded to the System Down Cell 24x7. Ugh. Let's all hear it for the no longer useful Do Not Call list. The spammers and crooks have won again. Anyone know how to get around this problem? I also never can tell where the outsourced night time help desk will call from. Bill -- d|i|g|i|t|a|l had it THEN. Don't you wish you could still buy it now! pechter-at-gmail.com <http://pechter-at-gmail.com> >
