One would have to want to be pretty isolated to put one of these things on the phone, since many people you like will probably run into it. In addition, if you leave it on when you're not home, you're causing everyone, even people who know the number, to call and get nothing. How about one that answers (and tickets) the call, then returns busy, until you answer the phone. That'd be truly antisocial :-) -edg -- Ed Greenberg uunet!apple!netcom!edg
