I'm not entirely sure how you'd use a modem to block phone calls. Do
you mean that the computer answers it before the human has to deal
with it? And then what does it do?

My anti-phone-spam policy is much simpler. I don't depend on
caller-id, I don't depend on blacklists... I just don't have a phone.
No matter what the incoming number is, it can't be for me, so I take
no notice. Look, ma! No spam! :)
