I didn't get very far with my friend at Octel. When I complained about empty messages, he suggested that I make my recorded greeting longer so callers would have more time to hang up. I guess "user friendly" hasn't made it to the voicemail industry yet. I did learn a new slang verb, however. In Octel-speak, to "337" something is to tune out before you finish hearing the argument. If comes from the code for fast-forwarding to the end of a voicemail message (33) and deleting it (7). John Mitchell
