Back in the late nineties, Microsoft made a phone. It had a software
interface and had some limited controls like you are asking. With a
little code knowledge, you could make it do what you wanted.
The problem was that the phone needed to be the "first" phone on the line
and all other phones had to go through it.
For the money, it was an excellent product.
Any PBX will do this, but you are talking big bucks and major setup.

[Shop-talk] Phone line management
My daughter and her friends are out of control. They use the home
endlessly. I work from home; lots of missed calls, either she
ignores/misses the call waiting or conference calls which disables the
call waiting. I tried to reason with my daughter and it works for about
an hour. I've asked her to explain to her friends I use the phone for
work and they should wait til the evening to call, call once and not do
not keep calling over and over again, to no avail.
I'm looking for something to manage the incoming and outgoing calls.
Ideally, it would go inline and intercept all incoming calls, filter
certain numbers limiting the number of calls, length of calls and time
of cay that they can be call and be called.
Anyone know of a magical device, if not there is a business op
