you can either use Blacklist/Whilelist, or if it is just 1 number, call your carrier.

...you cant block calls coming in. you need to either contact your carrier and have them block it at the exchange (good luck) or try to identifiy the owner of the fax and have them correct the situation on that end.

If you get Black/White List you can block the number, but that will send it to VM. Otherwise like stated, call the carrier and have them block it, or get a hold of the company that is trying to fax you.

More recent versions of Black & Whitelist and i,Call Manager Light (both by the same vendor) can hang up or give busy signals to specified blacklisted numbers, including Unknown and Private. No sending to voicemail.

I agree. YouMail is great for blocking most unwanted calls.
