Hah. Yes.  TYVM.  But if one of y'all is "keen" enough to go for skype
or whatsapp, twon't work nor will "call" when the landline is busy with
dialup net access.

Optimal if I don't answer email promptly enough: Walk [1] into my
dooryard and shout.  Best case, you get coffee and a sitdown by the
fire.  Worst case, I invoke...um... analogue countermeasures vs.
perceived spam/malware/intrusion. :-)



[1] Walk:  Preferred in any case but this time of year -- mudtime --
    driving a motor vehicle, even a 4x4, into my dooryard will
    eventuate in a call for a tow truck to enable departure.
