<DIV>One more item I’d like to add. We use MagicJack for our landline
number (we’ve had it for </DIV>
<DIV>nearly 35 years) and it only costs us $20/year plus lots of other
plusses. However, my point </DIV>
<DIV>is they (for free) challenge every incoming caller to “push number ? to
complete this call”. This </DIV>
<DIV>blocks the automated dialers and has been a real plus for us.</DIV>
