According to an article in the April 1 edition of {Business Week},
Colonial Data Systems (CDS) is now selling a Caller ID box that
prevents calls that are marked as "blocked" from ringing your phone.
The box replies to the caller "This party does not accept blocked
calls" and inhibits the ringing to your phone.
 
CDS is the same company that makes the Caller ID boxes that Bell
Atlantic and Hello Direct have been selling, so they should be
available from those sources. No price information was given.
