Hi, I use mgetty+vgetty to manage my phone. Hylafax has the capability to launch vgetty however I have not play with that setup . Usually for faxing out I just launch Hylafax and kill vgetty. Perhaps, this weekend I will play more with Hylafax to figure out how it can launch vgetty when it detects voice. You can play any greeting message that you like including randomly select your greeting message.It should be possible to setup vgetty with voice boxes for your favorite contacts . vgetty answers the phone and detects fax or voice. When vgetty gets a voice message streams it encapsulates the stream into a mime message then it mails to me . This is action is simply performed by a default script which vgetty invokes after receiving a voice message. My mail reader is exmh a tcl/tk front-end to MH. I have my exmh setup so that when I click on my voice folder, the voice messages are displayed as: Play attached audio Save audio file You click on "Play Attached Audio" and it invokes NCD's network audio player which has the capability to go play at any point in the audio stream by bracketing the audio stream. If you like , see : ftp://rah.star-gate.com/pub/Voice.FAQ it is outdated however it will give you an idea of how to set it up. It is possible to setup vgetty with a voice menu. With the obvious advantage that you have a whole OS to play with . If there is interest , I can gather the latest mgetty+vgetty distributions and generate a nice user friendly package.
