    Does anyone know of a (cheap) caller ID unit that
    can screen the calls based on user defined crit.? I
    would like for this unit to block the ring circuit
    if the caller is to be blocked. In other words, if
    a caller comes in IDed as "anonymous" then the
    phones won't even ring. I know poeple have done
    this with ECS & related hardware. But, I,m looking
    for something a little more strait forward. I don't
    mind using a PC as the controller.

    Thanks

    Panasonic makes a bunch of cordless phones with built in call blocking.
    I have blocked dozens of numbers on mine. Although I haven't done this,
    you can even block entire area codes or even office codes.
