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.
