[plug] Fax & Voicemail Random Thought...

[Trevor Phillips]

Is it possible to configure a Modem on a Linux Boxen to auto-answer a phone 
after a predetermined number of rings, and act as either a Voicemail or Fax 
receiver as required? That is, play a pre-recorded message, record voice back 
& store on the server, or save a FAX if a FAX is sent.

Can normal Modems do this sort of thing, or would it need specialised 
hardware? I'd be interested to hear if anyone's looked at this sort of thing.

*notices the mgetty-voice Deb package and starts researching*
