Yes, I was able to make vgetty do this. This was about two years ago and I unfortunately no longer have the scripts. >From what I can recall, and seeing the man pages now, it wasn't difficult to accomplish. Actually, the Perl Modem::Vgetty module's documentation[1] has everything you need. You can use the answering machine[2] script to record your message, and then later run the callme[3] script to call a number and play it back.
