I'm looking for a digital / tapeless answering machine with the following
features, in order of importance:

1) 100% digital / tapeless mechanism for reliability.
2) Must be able to record my own long greeting / announcement
   (at least 2 minutes).
3) Caller can press a key to bypass the greeting / announcement.
4) Total record time for incoming messages preferably over 20 minutes.


I want to leave a lengthy greeting / announcement with meeting agendas
and other info for the public.  But I don't want to force people to
listen to it over and over every time they call if they've heard it
before and they just want to leave a message.

So far, the only digital / tapeless answering machines I've found that
allow a caller to bypass the outgoing greeting / announcement are
various AT&T models.  In fact, most AT&T models seem to have a bypass
function.  Does anyone know of other brands/models that allow this?

Please reply to bc.inventors@canada.com if you know of digital answering
machines other than AT&T that allow OGM bypass.
