a cordless extension phone setup that has a second "hangar" and "charger" for it so THAT unit stays in the shop and just sympathetically rings when the base unit does?

Yep, that's pretty much it. Hmmm... now that you got me thinking about it, I'm not sure the base unit rings at all. I think it's just the (up to 3) handsets that ring. I'd have to check on that. Of course, what I'm calling the "base unit" is an answering machine, pager (to locate the handsets), intercom and charger for one of the handsets. It's the part you plug into your phone outlet, but it's not actually a phone itself.
Take a look this (the system I have) . Might give you a better picture. [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
