There are a few of them... But if you want a good voice mail quality, I'd suggest making your own. With most packages you need to get acquainted with it, and that takes a few days, maybe a week. About the amount of time, it takes to make a voice package. But, you could take a look at mgetty, which does provide a vgetty program. In my case, I installed hylafax on my machine, which provides a very intensive fax functions (even paging). I also had a modem with a cirrus sound chip, that doesn't have any software support on Linux, so I programmed an 'egetty' (external getty) for hylafax, that grabs the call if it's a voice but passes it onto hylafax, if it's fax or data. The modem itself has all functions for voice mail, it's only a question of communicating with it in the right order, and then put the recording in a maildrop. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
