Have you thought about adding Caller ID? With this you'd know the
phone number of who's calling without having to resort to an
answering machine. You can also set the box up to not ring for
numbers which are unavailable or anonymous in addition to setting
up certain phone numbers so you won't receive the call at all. Then
you can keep the answering machine running for the times when
you really aren't there because you know darn well the
telemarketers aren't going to leave a message <G>
Just a suggestion...
