Southwest Bell makes one that I'm particularly happy with. Unfortunately,
it's one that my folks own, while I own a cheapie Panasonic I'm not so
pleased with. I have no range figures, but know there are very few places
in my parent's palacial 3 story estate (serious :-) here...) that it won't
get a full-quieting signal both directions. It's called the "freedom phone,"
but I don't know any model numbers beyond that. CVN is selling 'em this
month for $169 and I may just buckle under...
