with dsl you could get www.phonepower.com which has all the features you need and save a bundle...I got it when they had 10%off and paid for a whole year for which they offered 2nd year free ...wow!! It is the clearest connection I ever had and also has online message reading as well as each message to you as a .wav attachment in email ...the modem was free ($15 s/h) & the customer service is in the USA and knowledgeable. ...and for calls to our EU family, 1.7cents/min is cheeeep! ...I could not be more pleased.

I bought a small new one (& there was only one model available). It seemed to work fine, but then the ends of the messages are completely garbled by static. Took it back, went somewhere else, bought a different one. Same thing. I have filters on all the phone lines, as we have DSL. Could this be the problem, & how can I fix it? tia. david David Turk Manager, Preservation Imaging Services Indiana Historical Society Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center 450 W.
