I use a slightly easier version to avoid telemarketers.

o two lines, one data, one "public" (might be unlisted)
o make all outgoing calls from the data line.
o pick up on "public" unlisted phone

o incoming calls to the data phone will either get busy, or never
  be answered.  (Sometimes, i pick up the phone and say "wrong number")
