    p    - This option enables screening mode. This is basically Privacy mode
           without memory.
    P([x]) - Enable privacy mode. Use 'x' as the family/key in the database if
           it is provided. The current extension is used if a database
           family/key is not specified.

           that no introductions are to be saved in the priv-callerintros
           directory.
    N    - This option is a modifier for the screen/privacy mode. It specifies
           that if callerID is present, do not screen the call.
