Difficult to do with only access to the phone line, but it would be<br>
comparatively easy for the phone company itself to block these calls.<br>
They'd have to implement an algorithm not unlike those used to detect<br>
credit card fraud, or spam.  If they detect 'spammy' behavior from an<br>
incoming line, they block it.  Of course, this might not make them so<br>
popular with the robocallers, who pay for all those phone lines.  Less<br>
politically risky to try to block the calls at the receiving end.<br>
