With "kill" based on CID I just thought of another feature:

At the 12th ring my phone rolls to voice mail. Set system for
allowing 11 rings for 800 numbers then "answer" (off hook for a few
seconds), prevents 800 crap in the voice mail ;-)

...Jim Thompson

Better yet, answer on the first ring: "This mailbox is full", then
hang-up ;-)


Even faster and lower power... Do what I do and unplug the (only)
phone and stick it in the drawer (the line is for DSL).




Any such answer attempt will not work; as marketeers that call (me)
hang up on or before the first syllable.


Who cares? The phone is disconnected, sitting in the drawer. Let
'em call all day. Please!


Disconnected phone = = impossible for any friend or relative to call you.


Wrong. Cell phone.


Wake up.


It must be hard, but *think*.

Ahhhhhhhhh.
If i could connect my computer to a cell phone for internet service,
*AND* no have to $pay$ more than $40/month for service, not counting ISP
which MUST NOT be locked to internet access, fine.
I say "NOT locked" because Qwest DSL locks you into using whatever
service they "give" (MSN i think); ComCast does the same crap.
I have taken months to find a decent ISP; "decent" for me is (1)
Webmail and NOTHING in a e-mail (part of their browser) client, and (2)
ASCII representation - ALL HTML and Java !stripped! (or !ripped!) out.
The possible advantage is that one might even get high speed internet.

Go back a few posts and read again. Then think for a few minutes.
It'll come to you.
