You scream to the person on the line to hold on while you run to shut the &#*$% thing off. Some companies have added a nifty feature to answering machines which will kill the machine if an extension picks up. Anyone hear of any such add-on gizmo to go in-line with the answering machine and the telco jack? Seems doable... -- -- Glen M.
