Handcock) Newsgroups: comp.sys.sun Subject: Using a Sun as a telephone answering machine Keywords: Source Message-ID: <1990Sep16.130249.15217@rice.edu> Date: 16 Sep 90 16:15:19 GMT Sender: sun-spots-request@rice.edu Organization: Sun-Spots Lines: 16 Approved: Sun-Spots@rice.edu Originator: spots@walhalla.rice.edu X-Sun-Spots-Digest: Volume 9, Issue 300, message 9 A neat way to store/manipulate telephone messages would be to use the audio capabilities of a SPARC station coupled with the usual mailer. That is for the SPARC to answer the phone, announce a pre-recorded message, and digitally record the message. The messages would be date stamped and annotated for later playback within a standard mail program. Does anyone know of public domain or commercial applications of this? I will summarize for the net.
