Have heard and read conflicting info about what is 'safest'
type of telephone to use during lightning storm. I know the
general statement is *don't do it*, but if one must...

corded or cordless? does it matter if the telephone also has
an integrated answering machine?

I know it's basic, but I need to replace my very old
telephone(s) and want to make the *best* choice.

TIA
