Re[2]: (ASCEND) re: Ascend's Comedy Voice-Mail

     Me too - I kinda like the voice.  
     
     However I do note that it seems more difficult to get through to 
     person-to-person tech support these days.  One operator "strongly 
     suggested" I go to the web site and look at the FAQ because everyone 
     was just too busy.  (!)  
     
     New levels of "Call Rejection and Avoidance Procedure" (CRAP).  :-)

The person that does the Automated Attendent messages seems to also 
be one of the receptionists.  I kinda like the voice.
