Vaguely remember doing this in Win98. Modem requires an additional driver

So, gave up on it.
Bug the people who bug you, the telephone solicitors. They use computers
nowadays for comms to the potential customers. For those who are wondering
about phone calls where no one is on the other end, its the same people.
They use a computer to dial 100's of numbers at the same time. They may not
have enough personnel to man all the phone calls made. Thus, no one on the
other end. Typically, call id will indicate name "unknown", but will have a
bona fide phone number. In cases where the solicitor is not using mass
phone number calling, the name of the company will be displayed on caller
id. If you wish not be called by a solicitor, call the phone company and
ask to be placed on the no-call list. You will be directed to a phone
number that can do this for you. FTC investigates and prosecutes those who
continue to call you after 31 days of being on the list. You have to let
them know at the same phone number they provide you.
