Yes, a couple years back, I added quite a bit of code to Dial()
to support several forms of call screening. See the docs for
Dial (core show application dial) for the P and p options, with
modifiers N and n. You can use the astdb features to remember
your choices for callers based on cid and record and store announcements
that you can use from the dialplan to announce calls based on callerid.
