<div id="yiv674081188"><div><div>You could also have the astrisk server prompt to hit a randomly selected number to continue the call; "press 7 to continue", otherwise be dropped to purging voicemail box. That would probably catch most of the robo-callers.<br>
<br>
As the robo calls get smatter, the prompt could be changed to something like "what's the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything?"<br>

things I
recommend you try when receiving a robocaller is<br>to hit numbers looking for an IVR menu. Maybe they left it open and<br>you could reprogram it.</blockquote><br><br><br><hr><br>grlug mailing list<br>grlug@grlug.org<br>http://shinobu.grlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/grlug<br></pre></blockquote></div><br>
