Re: Door bell ring/sound/speak?

["rb_ziggy" <rb.lists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have the Comfort doorbell picked up and broadcast through a xAP
message and then have a tts message announce "That's the front
doorbell ringing" through the distributed audio.  Cheesy enough for my
family!

Kids have just got into HHGTTG - It would be great to get a 'Marvin'
TTS voice "Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and I suppose you
want me to open the door again."

We also have the phones ring mainly because i've not got arouund to
silencing them in Comfort.

I played around with the comfort keypad tones for the ringer for quite
a while.  Never really got an effective, non annoying, sound.  They
are not exactly polyphonic quality!  But you have got me thinking now
- no reason why I can't do this with an MP3 sample instead.
