Probably the most capable product to meet that need would be the "Big DVR" [DVR-1] from Link COmmunications. It has a specially designed voice mail system with up to 1000 variable length message tracks and up to 32 minutes of storage time. Here is what the manual says about how to use it. The DVR uses special internal tracks to provide two types of mailboxes: public and private. Both types allow you to leave messages for other repeater users. You can leave a message in a public mailbox by simply entering the "Leave Public Mail" command (after setting up the prompting tracks as described below). The DVR will then ask you who the mail is for. You key up and say their name or call sign. The DVR will then ask you to record your message. When you are through, it will tell you that your message has been stored. You can check if there is mail for you by simply entering the "Check Public Mail" command. It will list the names or call signs of the people that there is mail for, or will tell you that there is no mail. If there is mail for you, you can listen to your message by entering the "Retrieve Public Mail" command. Up to nine public mailboxes can be in use at a time. Unfortunately, the company is out of stock and has no plans to build more at this time [although that may change]but someone on the RLC yahoo group might be willing to part with one. Yahoo!
