[gentoo-user] Fax & answerphone/voicemail server...

[Steve [Gentoo]]

I am looking at cobbling together a replacement for my antiquated 
hardware answer phone... Ideally I'd use my existing Voice/Fax Modem - 
and have voice mail messages delivered to me as emails in some 
appropriate attachment - that way I can retrieve them wherever I happen 
to be.

I've heard of Bayonne (but can't find that in portage); understand that 
[vm]gety is a very low-level approach (which sounds a fair bit of work) 
and of Asterisk (which sounds as if it supports lots of functionality I 
don't need - as well as not explicitly stating that it can use my 
existing (voice/fax/modem hardware).  My ideal solution would get a 
basic answer-phone service up and running pretty quickly - but let me 
tweak it as I find time over the medium term.

What do other gentoo users do for answer phone and/or fax services for a 
POTS line?
