I wish I had it so that I could later transcribe the details on the
call.  It would be nice if I could just pay attention to what the
caller is saying.  I can do it now by telling vm to record the call,
but when I do, it goes off-hook with a "click", and it reduces the
volume on my end of the call.  I wish the ZyXEL could do it without
going off-hook.  It's DSP obviously has access to the phone line
without going off-hook, since it can get Caller-ID.
