Since the beginning of the consumer telecom business, Panasonic was the unchallenged leader in 2-line phones and answerers. Strangely, for the last few years, the product line was minimal, with display phones that could not display Caller ID, and not even a single 2-line answerer.

Well, Panasonic is back, ready to re-claim the throne, with a full-featured do-almost-everything model at a very reasonable price.

• 2-Line digital answering. Total recording time is 33 minutes. Digital is much better than tape -- it's quiet, reliable, and allows features like selective save and delete. Latest generation of flash memory chip sounds very good, without the "slurpiness" of early digital answerers.
• Caller ID Pager Notification -- when the answerer records a message, it can call your pager and even forward Caller ID info.
• 3-Way Conference Calling allows you to join Line 1 and Line 2 together. Everyone can talk to everyone.
• Jog Dial Operation provides quick access to the phone directory, Caller ID list, and recorded messages. Also helps phone programming.
• Digital Duplex Speakerphone permits simultaneous speaking, and helps reduce echo and dropout for more natural-sounding conversations.
• Caller ID with Visual Call Waiting (SCWID) lets you see the name and phone number of an incoming call, even while you're on another call. Requires service from your phone company.
