Don't know if this got out the first time...


I am in the design phase of a voice mail system for the Amiga
and I would like to know if I am wasting my time.  This Hardware
and Software system would be a full voice information system with
digitized voice in and out (the output voice could also be the
Amiga synthesized voice).  Features would include: Simple answering
machine, call screening, message forwarding, Remote and local message
retrieval, Remote Amiga commands and status, Schedule function
(it could call you to tell you about a meeting, etc.), Remote
alert (it could call to tell you a program has finished or
there is an intruder).  As you can see there are lots of possibilites,
But I would only go through with this if I could sell enough to make
back my investment and then some..  So what do you think?  There are
2 million Amiga's out there, could I get 1 in a thousand to buy one.
I estimate the price would be ~ $125.

Thanks for your time,

Craig
