How about getting a free ipkall number, or a $7.99 voicepulse one, and
sending it to:
"all members of the household are busy assisting other telemarketers".
Then: "If you're calling about a domain, dial the first six characters
of
the domain name." Then send it to a voicemailbox.
This would allow legitimate contact, coupled with call screening. Chances
are there would be no revenue from the 900 number anyway :(
