Using the Andrew Message System, you can send lots of different media
types across lots of machines, including Sparcs.  The standard Andrew
distribution does not include voice as an object type, but at least two
sites (Xerox PARC and someone else, I forget who) have written Andrew
"insets" for voice, thus creating voice mail integrated with multi-font
text, tables, animations, pictures, and more.
