Aidan Maybe I'm nit picking, but what CE legislation would you infringe by modifying an ansaphone? If this could be regarded as a medical device (a special for one patient) then you would not infringe anything.(?) Otherwise, I suppose you might be in danger of infringing the EMC or telecoms directives but if it works in the patients home without transmitted or received interference, I can't see that EMC would be "policeable" or even against the spirit of any legislation. It would be difficult to make such a mod affect the characteristics of the phone line connection. It comes down to the risk assessment. Or perhaps others take a different view?

I have a client who has Motor Neuron Disease and who would like to be able to play back phone messages by pressing a single switch. We have tried using a Gewa Prog and VoiceMail, but this proved too complex for the client. Additionally, we are unable to switch adapt commercially available devices as this would infringe CE legislation.
