I chose a 'different way'. 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.
