[Blindtlk] caller ID suggestions plz

[Bonnie Lucas]

We have a Panasonic but I don't know the model number. It is one with the 
mother phone and three babies which means that only one of the phones has to 
hook into an actual phone jack. The others just plug in so they can be 
distributed around the house. It also includes an answering machine. 
However, you are not able to find out previous callers with speech. 
certainly not perfect but works for now.
