$3,500? You got burned ;)

I just wanted something that reads caller ID, queries the number with 
that website, receives the 0-100 rating and automatically answers with a 
dumb F'Off message or simply hangs up and logs the number and time if 
it's a F'er number, or doesn't do nuffin' if it's ok so one can answer 
the phone normally. The query itself should complete even before the 
phone rings for the first time because the caller ID pre-dates the ring.

I would like to run it on an old 1.1Ghz celery laptop with a modem.
(broken screen and other extraneousness parts already removed. It 
doesn't use very much power at all now, about as much as an ADSL router 
at idle)
Or the eeepc with a modem board installed (these are £3 on ebay inc)
Or even an old router thingy with custom firmware might be possible.
