How many handsets can the system support, and how many does it come with? Does any aspect of the system speak or have any kind of feedback a blind person could use to set it up--choose ringers, read the incoming or outgoing call logs, edit the dial directory, etc.? Can these things be set up and loaded from a computer, or the logs read from a computer? In other words, bottom line question, how accessible is this thing?
