[NBLUG/talk] Linux Answering Machine

[Mark Street]

Well..... that's just up my alley.  In my opinion you have two choices, both 
have web based interfaces to retrieve messages, as well as sending messages 
to your E-mail account:

VOCP http://vocp.sourceforge.net/
Simple, requires a voice modem - a REAL one....

or 

Asterisk PBX - http://asterisk.org
Very powerful, requires telephony card/s, serves all types of voice protocols
http://digium.com  for the hardware.

I have installed an configured both of them for different companies deploying 
messaging solutions.  Both have their strengths and weaknesses depending on 
what you are looking to deploy.

My office answering machine among other things ..... is a RH7.3 Asterisk 
server running on an old P266MMX....
