Selective call barring

[X-post to uk.d-i-y beause they know everything :-)]We are having problems with nuisance calls from a known number.Our current telephone supplier, Virgin Media, say they cannot block individual numbers.Google so far hasn't been a lot of help, but I have found 'Selective Call barring' on a BT Business product.So:(1) Do any telecom providers of land lines offer selective call barring to domestic customers?(2) If not, is there non-PC based equipment which can impliment this based on caller ID?(3) If not, can anyone recommend a computer package which can manage incoming calls and reject or anwer without a ring (possibly with a message).TIADave RP.S. I know you can do some of this with mobile handsets - on my Sony K750i I have a 'white list' function which only allows calls from selected contacts. I would prefer a 'blacklist' but something is better than nothing.

functionality

Some people have ACR making payback in a year or so though CTR has one feature (barring a number even though it was withheld) than no home-based box can match.

Out of date costs (1st May 04) Choose to Refuse (CTR) - £3.35 per month. Anonymous Call Reject (ACR) - £4.00 per month.

As others have noted the Truecall unit works out of the box @ £100
