Thanks for the useful tip, Lionel. I think that anything that makes you
easier to contact will help bring more business your way.

Here's a tip of my own: if you have a single home office phone that you use
for everything from faxing to modem communications to voicemail, it can be
hard at times for people wanting to hire you to get through. Get a pager
and advertise that as your second contact number.  Then try to call others
who page you back immediately.

Regards,
Nina P.
