Be sure to let me know how it works out, Jesse.  My answering machine
is one of those single-tape PhoneMates, and when the reply tape gets
kinda full there is a long wait between the TDD tones and the CTS
tone while the tape fast-forwards.  Can you think of a workaround
for that?

Have a Merry Christmas!
