The Sacramento Bee has a nice little article with hints about how to deal with unwanted telemarketers*.
According to it, the best thing to do is to hang up on them, whether they are real or robotic.
Like one of the persons mentioned in the story, we have virtually stopped answering the landline, not even checking the caller ID unless we are expecting a call from a real live human being who we know face-to-face.
