This should be possible, I know somebody that hacked some CallerID stuff
into his vgetty code and he actually has specific messages based on
who's calling. He hasn't released his code however. The cool thing is
that if it's a blocked call it will assume that it's a telemarketer and
part of his message will tell them to place him on their do-not-call
list.

This I know it can do. But I've never set it up

Based on who called? Shouldn't be a problem, just parse the vgetty logs.

I don't know how to do this since it would most likely just forward the
call to another extension. If it could interface with the PBX then I
would say yes, but never tries that.

This could also be done.
