|From: "Gary Palmer" <gpalmer@FreeBSD.ORG>
|I've just got myself a new USR modem, and I somehow ended up with one
|of the new voicemail capable modems (I'm not complaining :) ). Anyone
|have any idea how to drive the voicemail features under FreeBSD?

I've tried vgetty (part of mgetty-0.97) with some
success.  The main reason I gave up was that I couldn't
get it to reliably differntiate between 'voice',
'silence, and 'data'.  It uses fft/spectrum analysis to
do differentite the signals and just wasn't
consistently successful.  Still, if you stick to voice
and DTMF (touch tones) it works great.  Rich
