I'll soon be moving to a new house, and am planning on turning in the
phones I'm renting from GTE and buying new phones.  I'd appreciate
any recomendations or warnings about the following types:

1) Cordless
	
	I'm thinking top-of-the-line here, preferably with:
		selectable channels (for neighbor interference)
		programmable security codes (for unauthorized line use)
		two-way paging
		speakerphone base station
		pulse/tone dialing
		49/46 mHz

2) Desk/Office

	Here I'm thinking of a two line phone.  I'd like to put one line
	on my residence number and the other on the line my modem normally
	uses.  Thus I can use the modem line if the other line is in use.
	Features of interest:
		10-30 stored number autodial
		separate ringer tone and ringer controls
		conference capability (between the two lines)
		pulse/tone dialing

3) Clock/Radio/Telephone

	This one would be for the master bedroom.  Features I can think of:
		adjustable display brightness
		adjustable ringer volume (hopefully to off)

Thanks in advance for any help!
