Am I missing something? I have a landline. There's
no computer connection. It's not VOIP. It's just a wire
coming into the house. So how is the phone company
going to ring nomorobo? I assume nomorobo has to
be installed to a compter (VOIP) or cellphone.

It's unnecessarily confusing to call VOIP a landline.
It's not. It's Internet phone.

The only other way I could imagine this working on
a landline would be if I arranged with my phone company
to call nomorobo every time I get a call. That would
be far more creepy than getting spam calls.
