One of them was MegaPhone, which used a modem (seems most were Global Village, though some were Apple branded, I believe) in the communications slot as a phone answering machine. I have a 5200 sitting here on the corner of the desk, the sole function of which is to be an answering machine/fax machine.
If your modem supports voice, then you need to hunt down the software to use it as an answering machine. I have seen several versions, mostly shareware, that will do this for you on voice capable modems. Ken -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
