What, for instance, would constitute a better antenna for a cordless? I have a hands-free "phone lite" or some such name (made by the people that make those receptionist headsets,) and it works ok, but reception is pretty spotty (even though it claims a range of "up to 1000'", it gets poor at the back of the house...about 40' away from the base station.) --mike bergman bergman@m2c.org
