Well, I got vonage formwarding .wav files as voicemail. I'm currently using
kaboodle to play the wave files, with mozilla as the brower. It works fine,
but, if you use windoz, you add phone numbers to your address book and then
browse the phone number, click the one you want, and it initates a phone call.
It works on windows with outlook.

The local phone and the remotely dialed phone both ring. You pick up the local
handset and wait for the remote party to answer. Very slick. We need this
feature in  Linux.
