Thus my interest in VoIP /Asterisk / etc.

During designated hours, if appropriate, forward call to cell.

Appropriate = something like
- designated phone numbers ignored. Completely. "It's time for your 
next tune up on your 7 year old truck now ... please call and book and 
appointment."
- during mealtimes, straight to voice mail, text phone as to who 
called, if on permitted list.
- if from 800-type number and not on permit list, forward to special 
mailbox "The number you have dialled has chosen not to accept your 
marketing phone spam. If you feel this designation is in error, please 
have a human call from a real phone number that displays the name of 
your company. Have a good day!"
- etc.
