Answering Machines

[Elian Degen]

Ted,

I am using a rather elaborate way, but it worked for quite a long time,
I´ve been following up to see if anybody else has anything like it. But it
seems not.

Whwn I am working, my answering machine is my computer, but when I go on
hollyday, I swicth to an answering machine (no point leaving the computer
on all that time ) the model is Panasonic KX 72740, It´s a two line, two
message, remote answering machine. One of it´s features is that you can
program it once it answered, to call any number you want and pass the
messages to someone else. I program it to call a friend´s of mine office
and his secretary will pick up the mesages and call my clients to make an
appointment or let know my clients I am not in town. For emergencies she
has the phone of a colleague of mine that will cover me in special events.
And she also has my cellular phone, but I am glad to say that in six years
since I have been using this system she never had to call me personally.
