	I have had a similar idea in creating an Amiga answering machine.
	The route I wanted to take was to impliment touch-tones.  I wanted
	somw way of getting the amiga to recognize touch-tones.  Thus I could
	give all of my friends a touch tone code. When they called, they could
	get a personallized message that only they would hear.  All those 
	without codes would get the standard "I'm not here" message as a 
	default.  Messages could then be left via a digitizer.
 
	This "device" would also be usefull in screening phone calls.  A sort
	of screening mode could be implimented, whereas if a correct touch-tone
	code was not entered, the phone would be hung up, or a busy signal/ring
	could be played.  If a correct code was entered, a secondary phone
	ringer could be activated.

	Anyone who has some ideas on bringing this who thing together 
	let me know.
