> buy an answering machine. using a $3000 PC I'll never pay $3k for a pc. I'm using a retired K5-133, my proxy server. I figured if a 100 mhz DOS 486 at work can do voice mail for 200, NT 4.0 should be able to handle a home office and the family. I want to be able to check the voicemail from the net, a short coming of the system at work. I never figured the state of the software would be so poor. It's not like voice modems are bleeding edge technology. The last package I tried, from Symantec, crashed on importing a wav file made with the MS sound recorder. How standard can you get? It imported perfectly a wav file I ripped from a Byrds CD. It just goes to show that the damn GUI can't make up for shoddy programming.
