What has become of the "Call Breakthrough" feature that was around for a while? I know of at least one General Electric answering machine that had this feature, but I never see it adverstised with any of the current models. (BTW, the way it works is: in addition to a code for retrieving messages from a remote location, another code will cause the machine to emit fairly loud beeps, so that if anyone is home they will know to pick up the phone.) howie uw-beaver!ssc-vax!voodoo!howie

My AT&T 1330 answering machine has this feature, although I've never really figured out a good use for it-- I'd rather listen to the caller and then figure out whether or not to pick up the phone.
