After I got my PBX I discovered a wonderful way to deal with junk calls,
put them on hold!  They'll hear music and most of them are stupid enough
to continue talking. Recently I left a call on hold for several minutes,
and when my curiosity go the better of me, picked up the call only to hear
the girl continuing her endless speach about the wonders of her company's
product. She stopped and said: "Did we get cut of or something?"  I said:
"Gee, I don't know, did we?"
