Actually, I've been thinking that a SIP server (VoXaLot or other) that just dishes out canned responses could be useful. For example, some dummy SIP URIs could be set up, such as:

reply486BUSY@voxalot.com (responds with 486 BUSY to every call).


reply380PSTN@voxalot.com (responds with 380 Alternative Service, PSTN)

(useful for people using Japanese ATAs)


Some SIP devices have a "blacklist" - a list of phone numbers from which calls will be refused. You might be able to use that feature in your phone or ATA to avoid being interrupted by SIP probes.
I like your train of thought. I wonder if voxalot would be kind enough to consider the creation of these sorts of SIP URIs in order for us to accomplish this task, an alternative to what I suggested previously.

I have tried using search engines to find a SIP URI that would automatically return a 486 BUSY response, but I've not been able to find one.
