Well, what I had was a Classic II, 10MB RAM, a 230MB Quantum drive
running OS 7.1, and a GV Teleport 33.6 Speakerphone. The software
'Readme' said that a the minimum CPU was an '040, but I was still able
to install it. I say 'had' since the Call Center software uses a
640x480 view and it just was bothersome on that screen. But it did
work in that it picked up messages. I had an occasional issue with a
clean disconnect and I didn't use the greeting since it had too much
'reverb' in it. When people called, they just heard the beep. It did
confuse a lot of telemarketers <G>.
Since then, I've moved over to my Mystic and threw on a PaperPort
scanner with my Personal LW and occasionally sync my Newton to it as
well. In fact, I'm so happy with my Mystic, I've given thought to
completely dumping my Centris 650 with a PC Compatibility Card and 16"
monitor. It is a thing of beauty to run a Mac dual-headed, even if one
of those heads is slightly annoying.

Jack, what do I need to use a Classic II as an answering machine? I
was thinking about that recently.

I suppose that it depends on your functionality need. I use a
Classic II as my answering machine/fax machine. I don't it to do
much else but answer the phone and send/receive faxes. It'd be as
waste of an SE/30's time <G>.

This is all very interesting, but I never buy a computer because it
looks cool or beautiful. I worry about functionality. That's why I
still prefer Mac over PC's, because they work. THe fact that they
have a beautiful appearance is just a really nice bonus. And that is
also why there is still an SE/30 on my desktop next to my G4 and not
a Classic or Classic II.
