I was told that it's possible for one w/ electrical engineering knowledge to reconstruct a good answering machine a bit, linking to a modem on a PC to establish a voice-mail like system. This system can call up a list of phone #'s (by PC softwares through modem). Once the line is through, the answering machine would be started to announce a pre-set recording msg. This system will be very useful for local meeting and activities announcement and other coordination activities. If you have any idea about possible resources to do this kind of thing, I would be very grateful to be notified. Thanks in advance. Matthew Huang 413-549-6651
