Thanks for all the responses on the talking beepers.  I tried calling the
one place someone mentioned (IRD or something like that).  They do not have
talking beepers either.  I will pursue the Motorola possibility.

Our voice mail here has an option to leave a message as urgent or normal.
Most people have their voice mail set up to beep them if an urgent call is
left.  This works great.  My problem is a little more difficult.  Our team
has a floating beeper which passes to a different support person each
month.  That way the client / operations  can always call the same number
for support.  I was hoping to get a talking beeper and somehow tie it to
the floating beeper for use when I am on support.  I'm not sure how that
could be done but I'm sure there's a way.  In any case, it doesn't appear
that there is any such thing as a talking beeper.  I agree with you, Matt,
there certainly should be!
