- Thanks to all who responded to my query!
-
- Several people suggested answering machines, but I fear these elderly
- people are anti-answering-machine. (My wife is like that -- she never
- will leave a message on anybody else's answering machine, either,
- except my voicemail at work, even though three of our closest friends
- have answering machines. When she calls them and they do not pick up,
- I have to take the phone from her and leave the message ... :-) I agree
- that it is a viable solution, but I don't think its worth trying to
- force them to change their attitudes at this late date.
-
- I did receive valuable pointers to a couple specific models from
- Panasonic and Motorola which I will follow-up on. The suggestion to
- modify an ordinary cordless with a handle my aunt can hold sounds good
- -- that might be the most cost-effective route.
-
- Thanks again, and Happy New Year to Telecom'ers worldwide!
