With [a certain extra-large phone company... OK, AT&T]'s AUDIX system,
I now can allow callers to leave no "unsightly residue" of their
aborted attempt to call me.  My message:

"You have reached Dan Jacobson.  To leave no message, on your touch
tone phone press **9."


Disclaimer: this system appeared on my desk one day and I have no
comparison to other leading brands to give you, etc.
