It depends upon your reasoning, if learning and experience is your first
priority, then go for it. As said in another email there are some
components and preconfigured devices for such a thing. I actually have
two devices (cards) specifically made for advanced voicemail box setups,
if anybody wants to research or experiment with those, let me know.
If you just want a voice-to-computer answering machine, there are services
out there, locally even! That will do this for you.. I personally use
innoport.com which is a local company that gives you a 215 (although I
suppose they can give you a box on an 800 number, too) number... on my
main number, I have busy/don't answer forwarding.. which I point at that
number.. or people can just call that number directly, it can accept
voicemail and/or fax. Voicemail it makes into .wav's, fax'es as .pdf's...
if anybody wants to call it and get an example back, just let me know.
Also, if anybody wants to sign up for the service, let me know.. I can get
a referral credit but have to send you an email or referral number.
Either way, I would recommend this service whether I get a referral credit
or not. This is cheaper than if you were to get a separate line to do
this, or even cheaper than verizon voicemail, and it's the only service I
know of at least locally to provide the voicemails & faxes electronically
which rocks. It's great for dsl, dialup, if you're at work, or across the
country on vacation, or just need a non-home voicemail or fax number to
give out.
