I want a residential 800 number that lets me redirect the normal phone
# which it routes to.  I want to be able to do this with minutes of
notice, not days which implies a computer rather than a human will
take my re-route requests.

Essentially what I want is an 800 number that does call forwarding,
where that call forwarding can be redirected at any time from any
phone (presumably with a PIN).

Caller Id would be very desirable too.

I currently have an 800 number -- I'll mention what it spells after I
change it.  95% of the calls are wrong numbers, mostly drunks on
weekends.

[Moderator's Note: I think Cable & Wireless is the company you are
looking for. A message in the Digest some time back said they offer
this type of 800 number.  PAT]
