way off topic here. I used to (still do) have a bigMouth voicemail board. It was a basic one line answering machine. but it was quite programmable, and could do some file processing (batch files) and outbound calling. DOS application. I thought it would be cool if I could put my answering machine on the web, but unfortunately although it has a conversion program from it proprietary compression format to wav (another simple step to MP3 or similar format), I couldn't get the card to work in the same box as a network card, I never tried a modem, but that's an idea, hmmm. ??????? What are my options? I would imagine that any voice modem would be capable of having a programmatic interface, and doing outbound, but I am not familiar. I have never seen an API or interface that was really any good for mapping out a voice system bundled with a voice modem. Examples of usage. 1.) Complex logical treed voice mail system. time of day? 2.) remote (voice) message retrieval for multiple users (piece of cake, standard right?) 3.) outbound? 4.) Call my friends (database) asking how much beer they have in the fridge. If the answer was below, I wuickly hung up and went to the next call. if more than a specified tolerance, I was notified, and the friend was told I was coming over. 5.) Games. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Archives: http://www.eGroups.com/list/cf-talk To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
