To the person who wishes not to be disturbed, may I recommend the
voice-mail system with a beeper. True, you will be beeped every time
someone calls, but they can't directly bother you because you have to
call everyone back, no matter what. The beeper gives you access to
your messages anytime they get left.

It's not exactly what you want, but it is available in most areas now
for a cheap price.
