Well, how about making it so that unlisted phones show
up on one of these boxes as a (unique) number that is
different from the real number.  That way both would
work -- the box would show that number xxx-xxxx is calling,
and could either answer or not answer, but the person
with the box could not call the unlisted number, which
is really yyy-yyyy.  I know this would use up another
phone number, but how many unlisted numbers are there?
Would this be that hard to arrange with ESS?  Would it
be any harder to arrange than a box which displays the
number of the party calling you?
