small linux based answering machine

[Syed Faisal Akber]

I've used vgetty in the past with a Hayes 56K Voice Modem and found it  
to be extremely unreliable.  I would recommend something like an  
Asterisk based device with an FXS card.  That would probably do much  
better than what you will experience with the vgetty based solutions.
