Cohousing-L Mailing List: cordless phone, answering machine in the common house?

[Terry Whatley (terry.whatley]

Searching the archives, I see a lot of support for having a phone in the CH.
Do any of you have experience pro or con of having a cordless phone as
the common house phone, and of having it take messages or not?

thanks,
