You're probably right, but while in 'dream on' mode I was speculating how  
difficult it would
be on the technical side to add the feature (he said, not having a  clue.... 
heh heh)).
Maybe not so much...(?)  I recall working on Panasonic answering  machines 
back some 
15-20 years.  There were myriad models and styles, and some very  similar 
looking models
had major changes to the internal mechanical and circuit board  designs.  
That left me
wondering if it would actually make much difference to just 'do it' without  
expecting that much
of a 'guaranteed return'.  
With Roy's project, however, the issue has mostly faded away  anyhow.
