on My ESI phone system at home...its real Easy to stop unwanted tele marketing calls all day long.
i set up the auto attendant to answer all calls with the messgage to press 1 to continue , or stay on the line to disconnect. I can still see the callerid on my TV screen but 99 percent of the callers drop off right away( the disconect timer is set for 15 seconds) and with the ESI , the Auto Attendent is built in.

With my Avaya Partner ACS & Partner Voice Messaging, I allow the auto attendant to grab all incoming calls.

The PVM is a bare-bones system so I'm a bit limited on what I can do. I purposely made my auto attendant greeting long winded, so most telemarketing calls drop during the message. The few that manage to hold on will be transferred to x10 but disconnect shortly after that.

If I'm watching television, I'll see the incoming call data appear on the screen. The Caller ID banner will appear on x10's display.
