I just got done talking to Mike Balch of TELTONE technical support.
He read my previous followup to this posting, but is unable to post a
followup, or send mail right now.  He tracked me down and called me
asking if I would post the information for him.  I hope this isn't too
commercial for anyone....

The device is called the T-130, sells for $369 (*ouch*).  Mike is
currently working on hooking one to his Amiga, and plans to interface
a digitizer to do voice mail type stuff.

I managed to track down the posting in comp.dcom.telecom, so since it
explains the details pretty well, I hope no one will mind if I just
include it.

I seem to remember that someone was asking about an interface box
here recently. Today I came across an ad for a box that some of you
out there might be interested in. All I know about the device is
