John, Thanks. Good to know the deb files work. I also use cities, states and area codes in blacklist. All I can really say is Wow--you and the team have really put in a lot of thought and done a lot of good work. We were getting ~10 robocalls a day and ncid cut that down to ~1. With fakenum I expect a lot of days with none getting through. I have the phone set to silence the first ring, so it is much more peaceful. Thanks to you and Ed, Jeff P.S. Am I supposed to close out the sourceforge ticket...

Ed, Thanks. Sorry I did not see that in the manual, Jeff On 7/7/23 13:30, Ed Attfield wrote: The hangup-fakenum extension does exactly what you're asking for, hanging up on callers with numeric names. It applies a few rules to weed out callers with unlikely numbers, and it can also read a list of valid area codes. The user manual has information on setting up extensions.

John, ncid is working on my Pi400. With either the 32 bit or 64 bit OS, always got an error trying to use the .deb files--even with zstd installed, dpkg does not know what to do with the zst files. But just compiling from source on the Pi400 works. One note--next time you update the User Manual, os needs to be changed from raspbian to raspios. I think I was not very clear on my suggestion. The suggestion is to add a different type of match--not just compare number and name to blacklist and whitelist...

John Thanks for all the info. Still having issues, but won't bother you for a few days as it is a holiday. Have a happy 4th, Jeff On 7/3/23 06:59, John L. Chmielewski wrote: After the ncid-client failed, I tried again and got the E: Unsupported error. I then installed zst and continued to get the error instead of it going away. Maybe it's because I am running the 64-bit OS on the Pi400. In any event, if you get the error, you need to clear it, anyway you can. A reinstall will definitely clear it...

John, Thanks very much for the reply, and for making ncid available to all. I have been using it for years on a now 12 year old desktop and it really helps a lot. I had to buy a new power supply for the old desktop and realized I spent more than a new Pi400.

John, Thanks, great wiki page. I will just use hangup=1 for now and maybe buy a different...

John, Thanks. Tried it with pickup=0 and hangup=2: same results, ncid shows the MSG:...
