I don't speak for them, nor they for me.# Check out the "PhoneMate" brand, model 5000. It's tiny. Uses one micro-cassette for incoming/outgoing messages. Microprocessor controlled and VERY quiet operation. Has beeperless remote for message retrieval including a "toll saver" feature - if you call in your machine from the other side of the planet, if it doesn't pick up on the first ring you have no messages waiting and you can hang up and not be charged for the call. Also has a "personal memo" feature. All in all a well-made very compact quiet full-featured unit. I think it retails for $100... shop around for a discount. I've had one for a couple years and like it a lot. Harv Laser, Sysop, The People/Link AmigaZone.
