[access-uk] Re: telephones

Great stuff, Dave.   I'm still wading through the various models.  I'm going 
to look at a few Philipps and a few Panasonic, then get a better buy online. 
The Panasonic generally seem a bit more expensive, and I don't particularly 
want large keys, but I do want robust handsets, so I'm taking the look 
around first.  Getting there slowly!  <Smile>

Thanks for your input.
