I'm having a lot of trouble with my cordless phone with an answering machine
hooked up to it.  Sometimes it rings for no reason and sometimes it goes
beserk{by hanging up and unhanging up repeatedly very fast.  I assume
the answering machine is giving off some kind of signals so I tried
moving the two units apart about 5 feet but it didn't help.  Is this normal?
Is there any way to fix the situation besides just not using my machine with
the cordless phone?  Any help would be appreciated.
