Lu, down in Florida, called the other day to announce to me that the remotely variable call forwarding service recently described here is available. It was tested here in Washington D.C. about two years ago. The test system had a poorly synthesized computer generated voice which would prompt you through the process of identifying the subscribing telephone number, verifying your identity with a passcode, prompting for the new destination number, usw. The for-profit system now online in Florida has the now-familiar CLASS female prompt voice ("your Call Block service is neeooow aaawwnn..."). As soon as I can get a demo of it, I'll pass along all the details.
