Phone "answering machine"

I am posting this as a new conversation because the site will not allow me to reply directly to R. Baer's post: "intelligent" telephone answering mach ine. I have such a machine: Digitone ProSeries II Call Blocker. I has all t he features R. Baer wants and more. One button can block all future calls f rom a current caller, It automatically blocks V-series numbers which are al ways robocalls. It has many other features that you can probably Google. I am very happy with the unit's performance, If you can tell me how to get pe rmission to reply directly to a post, I would appreciate it.
