Another idea if you happen to have a smartmodem and a home computer.
Is to have the computer ring a buzzer whenever someone calls, hangs
up, and calls again.  The modem is set not to autoanswer and it just
tells the idling computer when the phone rings.  It may not be the
most efficient way to stop junk calls, but if you happen to have a
system it works, and your friends don't need a touch tone phone.
