What has become of the "Call Breakthrough" feature that was around for
a while?  I know of at least one General Electric answering machine
that had this feature, but I never see it adverstised with any of the
current models.

(BTW, the way it works is: in addition to a code for retrieving
messages from a remote location, another code will cause the machine
to emit fairly loud beeps, so that if anyone is home they will know to
pick up the phone.)
