I bought a good will special answering machine and then ordered a device from: http://www.digitone.com/ IF you don't know the 'extension' you don't get through!! And anyone CAN leave a message..just how long you want to wait till the answering machine finally picks up and answers..so far, only those wanting to leave a vessage and I know such as doctors offfices and friends have left a message. Sure is quiet here now..as far as wrong numbers/solicitors/etc. Ed *****/////*****/////***** Ed Culbertson/ke7feg Remember Katrina?
