The ISDN card isn't bound to only access the bearer service `64k data', you can access the voice services as well, thus making it an intelligent answer machine. Just detect the phone number of the incoming call, then decide whether to auto-answer the call or not, and how to do it. ,,Hello, my dear friend xxx. Thanks for leaving your phone number so i could recognize you. Sorry to say, i'm not at home, but you can reach me at yyyy's number.'' :-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
