The first home computer I bought was a Packard Bell back in early
'95. It came with a voice modem and answering software. It actually
worked quite well, rarely failing to answer/record a call, properly
receive a fax, or hang the line up when complete. It would even
share the COM port without balking, so my online dialing software
worked fine, too. I was even able to make the switch from WFW3.11 to
Win95 after installing a patch. Later, I added a faster modem for
data and left the old one for voice/fax, assigned them different COM
ports and all was well.
Then, in 2000, I bought a new computer and things were never the
same. I used trial versions of several diffferent packages, and
swapped modems a few times, but could never make things work as
reliably as before, if at all. I soon gave up and bought an answering machine.
