I like that!  So simple.   I think there were boxes that we  
could buy at one time with simple features like that and attach  
them to the landline.

 W> My "landline" (a voip number) did have issues but I just

Yes.. Voip is the key to start getting blocking/routing features  
built-in.   I have two landlines coming into the house. $35/mo  
each.  I am still reluctant to change them to 100% Voip only.
