Thanks very much Joseph. I have the highest regard and appreciation for
your knowledge, many valuable explanations, and excellent suggestions and
solutions.

After implementing the remedy that Brian suggested, Google Voice now seems
to be a perfect solution for my needs.

Google voice-mail now answers all calls to my 30-year established toll
free number instantly with not even a single ring delay; and it answers
calls to our existing land-line home phone number after just two or three
rings.  That is exactly what we needed.  Plus, it also provides free
voice-mail transcription of all voice-mail recorded calls, custom
answering, and call filtering; so I can't imagine any other telephone
service being as ideal as this for my needs ... and it's all free.  What
could possibly be better?
