AVOID PHONEMATE!!!! I purchased one from Fry's Electronics, got it home, found it was defective, returned it for another of the same model, which has slowly been going down- hill ever since. While it does have a nice feature set and price, it frequently cuts off people leaving messages (so they have to call back again) as well as sometimes forgetting to play the outgoing message. I have been in contact with their customer support, there line is always busy, and it is not a toll free number. When speaking to them, insist that it is a installation error, (but if I want, I can ship it to L.A. and they will check it out; leaving me w/o an answering machine). It's a big mess. I've been considering "The Message Center" from Pacific Bell. Has anyone had any experience with them? knight -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- knight@netcom.com Sunnyvale, CA Wanted: Employment as a 3D graphics programmer -----------------------------------------------------------------
